About The Event
The local Howard Volunteer Fire Department near Bald Eagle State Park puts on this annual event as their main fund raiser. We did a club cruise up there last year for the first time.

Besides the Chunkin activity, there’s a Fair kind of atmosphere with craft vendors, food vendors, hay rides and a beer garden. The back roads cruise with all the fall colors is also a key highlight.
As last year, our club will have special parking, right in the middle of all the activity. Our Corvettes were such a hit with the crowd last year, that the event chairman wants us back with more cars.…
