Heartland Owners Club Presence:
-----------------------------------------------
  • The Heartland Owners Club will have a presence at the Hershey Show, each day, Wednesday through Saturday (no club table will be setup on Sunday)
  • We will have a club table. The table will be somewhere within our primary display. The table will be staffed by Club Member volunteers
Heartland Owners Member Volunteer Opportunity:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Are you a Heartland Owners Club member?
  2. Are you coming to the Hershey show?
  3. Can you speak to others about the Heartland Owners Club and about Heartland RV products?
If you can answer yes to all 3 questions above, you may have what it takes to help us staff the Heartland Owners Club table during this show.

We are looking for couples to work one or two "4 hours blocks" over the course of the first 4 days (Wed-Sat). If you can work more than one block, they can be on the same day in most cases. They do not have to be back to back blocks within the same day. The blocks can be on different days. It's all a function of what works for you and what blocks are available based on who's got their request in before you.

Cheryl Horst, our PA Chapter Co-Leader (with her husband Jim) will be coordinating the volunteers who are staffing the table. Please click the above, next to Cheryl's name to contact her with your interest. She will need:
  • Your names (first and last for both of you)
  • Your cellular number
  • Your email address
  • Your preferred day(s) to work the table and your preferred day part(s) (morning, afternoon or evening)
Cheryl will put the schedule together. Cheryl, Jim Beletti and those with us who've volunteered here in the past will all work with you to show you the ropes.

For those "volunteer couples" accepted, Heartland RVs will be given the following tokens of appreciation* for your efforts:
  • Admission for to the show for the week for each volunteer accepted (these will be Greeter Passes)

Hello everyone! We had a great time meeting new Heartland owners (and current owners) at the Hershey RV show in September. We had 19 owners volunteer for shifts at the table and except for some inclement weather on Thursday...had marvelous weather and interesting conversations with potential buyers; answering questions they had about the units and Heartland in general. We had so much fun that everyone wants to do it again in 2011. The dates are as noted in the subject line, and if you'd like to join us, check your calendar...and book yourself a site at either of these campgrounds...but do it VERY SOON!!! Especially for Hershey Highmeadows (where you can catch the shuttle bus to the show) which fills up very quickly. Another place to check is the Hershey/Conewago Campground..which is about 6 miles or so from the show.

If you are having thoughts about participating next year, drop me a PM.

Here are the CG numbers to call and book your site:

Hershey Highmeadows:

(717) 534-8999

Hershey/Conewago:
(717) 367-1179

Hey Cheryl,

Called Hershey Conewago yesterday and left a message to make a reservation for September. I'll let you know how we make out today! Had to make sure we could do it before we made plans.

Thanks for the reminder Cheryl.

I just called High Meadow to try to get 7 nights there. Sadly, they could only do 3 nights for a 41' 5th wheel. I've got a call into Conewago now.

Looking forward to seeing the gang again!

It was really a lot of fun!!! I am hoping for warm sunny weather again this year....Deb so happy to see you are going to be able to make it this year!! Conewago has more room for your 41 footer Jim! Highmeadow is too tight for that large of a rig.... Of course there will be the traditional mini-rally at our place again on Saturday evening. Hope to see more folks coming out for the show!!! Let me know if y'all have any questions!!

Well, my bad. Turns out I dialed the number wrong and left a message for a sweet old woman. I spoke to her tonight. She said she would have called me back but she doesn't have long distance service :)

I did leave a message for Dave tonight. So I am hopeful of getting into Conewago.

I also wanted to mention another campground that is about 12 miles away from the RV show... it's the PINE GROVE KOA. It's off exit 90 on 81 North (or south) depending on which way you are driving. The phone number for that KOA is

(800) 562-5471 or locally (717) 865-4602

Just another option if you like the KOAs.
