AutoFair

CAN’T MAKE IT TO THE NORTHEAST THIS

October for Fall Carlisle or Hershey?

The Fall Charlotte AutoFair makes

a great substitute; it takes place

Motor Speedway in North Carolina.

The spring and fall shows regularly

see attendance of over 100,

combined, yet this is the fi rst

time the fall event will take place in October. More than 7,000 fl ea market spaces are

scattered throughout the infi eld and in a large car corral. To secure available space, it’s

suggested you book in advance. For information, visit http://www.charlotte-autofair.com.
