While in Carlisle

[SSing]

or in the Harrisburg area where we are going to stay.
We have a day off prior to the main event. What mustn´t we miss?
Can we get a good bite of Southern Style BBQ (in a rural shack ) around here?
Appreciate a good tip.
Thanks .

The national civil war museum is a good one not much BBQ around here.

There is a shack type BBQ place on Route 34 just south of Carlisle, I have not tried it yet.

From there you are only 30 miles or so from Gettysburg, well worth a visit!

We went to Gettysburg and Hershey last time I was there.

Good ways to support the local economy!

Redd's is in Carlisle, not far from the fairgrounds but they have a small dining area & fill up fast.

Awesome food & very popular with the locals.

Shack delete though.......

No vendor spot for me until fall or spring, I have too many people to see & too much to do at the main event.

I'll stop by with those distributors for you though Hoppy.

I would definitely make the drive down to Gettysburg and loop around through the battlefield. It is a beautiful drive. Don't forget about the big "cruise-in" on Thursday night at the Expo Center across from Gate 3 at Carlisle if you are here that day as well.
