I have attended this show from the beginning and always enjoyed it. It was put together by a employee that has a hot rod and knows what car people want in a show. But they have replaced him with people that have no clue what they are doing. This will be my last year there I am going to Pottsville cruise that is held on the same day and know what they are doing.

Great pics Ken! Definitely announce it early next year. I have friends in PA that would love to go (and perhaps provide a room for me so I can go too!)

Exclamation Show is going down the tubes

I have attended this show every year since it started and it was a fun show then the changed managers they took the one person that knew what car show participants wanted and put in a woman who only wants to make money not give the participants what they want.
My friends and I are not attending this show anymore.It sucks

Default Not a good Show Anymore

Besides using his Mickey Mantle baseball cards for "motors" in the spokes of his bike, trading his Challenger is his greatest regret in life.
They changed managers and the woman who runs the show is greedy and is ruining the show. The previous manager was a well known car collector and knew what it took to put on a good show.

This show now sucks, don't bother going anymore

It was a very beautiful event. Just the week prior to this event, Bloomsburg hosted an outdoor movie for the children of the town. A large screen was in front of town hall and Main Street was closed. It was well attended.
The show has taken a change for the worst, the man who ran the show was a well known hotrodder and he was replaced by a woman that is greedy and not giving or doing anything for the car people anymore. I say lets all go to pottsville cruise where they want us.

THIS SHOW SUCKS NOW

This woman has no clue what she is doing she doesn't even realize she is ruining the show all she wants is to impress her boss by saying look how much money I have made you

It was a great show but it now has taken a turn for the worse, this show is worse than the special events show that was there years ago.


I suggest you attend a better show maybe the Pottsville cruise now there is a great show.

Do the above posts all sound suspicious to anyone else?, all from people with one or two posts, all have a car junkie username, (hemi hunter, ford guy, mopar master), and all say the same thing just using different words. Classic trolling.

Default Gridlock vs Fairground Show...

I always enjoy the 'Gridlock' on Main Street. This year was the biggest in my experience. It was truly enjoyable, regardless of management. I went to the fairgrounds once. Not my cup of tea. The street show is fantastic only because I enjoy photographing the vehicles with a beautiful background, ie the fountain at Market Square, etc.

I'll mention it next year, and look forward to seeing some NEPA friends! I'll do my best to accomodate a few visitors!
