My first York meet was in 1967( I had attended one meet at the Guernsey sales pavilion ) on the way down rte 15 stopped at traffic light and got hit from behind ( had a new 1967 Chevrolet Impala 427 SS) fortunately had a trailer hitch on and the dude that hit lost because the hitch protected our car and punched his radiator! Then went for all years following in 1984 bought a travel trailer stayed on the fairgrounds by then my son was going with me and that tradition carried on for several years. Then as Children got older and left the house my wife stated going with me and we made it a "get away weekend." We continued that through 2015 as we sold the bulk of my accumulation! That coupled with the Hotel (special event pricing) cost etc. Have not gone since and miss it! I was always in the white hall and made friends with the regulars. when my son was with me we always got at least one sausage (with peppers and onions) sandwich and of course a funnel cake and an ordered or of brickers fries!
Now things are different life has a "new normal" our son fell at home August 22 2018 and is now a C-3 Quadriplegic and he works everyday to get better. We speak frequently about our trips to York and remember the good times!
So enjoy don't complain about little stuff because you never know when life can change!
