While car show season is up and running at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, there are still many local businesses and people who need support. As a way to give back and offer thanks to a community that has long supported Carlisle Events, we’re hosting donation stations and encouraging you to give at events this year. Your efforts will support Project SHARE of Pennsylvania and the United Way. Both local agencies work to serve those in need. For Project SHARE, it’s their food pantry and for United Way of Carlisle & Cumberland County, it’s helping community-based programs that strengthen the cornerstones for a good quality of life. This includes education, financial stability, health and basic needs. In each instance, support is needed.
Running now through the conclusion of Fall Carlisle (October 5), donation bins will be positioned near the entry gates of the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds during car show event weekends. Donations suggested include meal-related food items, toiletries and more. There is also a virtual food drive (details on the Project SHARE web page). In addition, donations may be monetary in form as well.
Learn more about each organization, how you can donate and more via their respective web pages which are linked below. You can also view the full press release on this inaugural venture online too. We thank you in advance for your support.
Save EVEN MORE on Spectator Tickets PLUS Flash Sales
World events of the past few months have put on hold many of the fun things we enjoy in life, including attending car events in Carlisle. However, with some sight of a light at the end of a tunnel, Carlisle Events has crafted some special offers. These offers reach the core three aspects of what we do; showing a car, vending or attending the event as a spectator.
World events of the past few months have put on hold many of the fun things we enjoy in life, including attending car events in Carlisle.

This fan-built replica is approved as official by Hasbro and it’ll be the star attraction at Carlisle Truck Nationals on Saturday, August 8. The truck itself was born to play this role, as from the day it rolled off the assembly line, it immediately begin its transformation from basic 2017 Western Star 5700 XE to a spitting image of the version showcased in Transformers 4. Counting this replica, there are only three OP trucks that carry this livery.

Family fun returns to Carlisle with frisbee dog action from Disc Dog Hall of Famer Lawrence Frederick and his world-champion Disc-Connected K9 team.
Performing multiple events daily during truck weekend, the Disc-Connected K9s are no strangers to Carlisle and are the only traveling show of their kind with such top notch “talent” on its roster. Making these dogs even more special is the fact that they are rescues that are trained to do what they do best - run, play and entertain. Many of the breeds on the team include Border Collies, Australian Shepherds, Australian Border Collie mix, Jack Russells and other hyperactive mixed breeds.
Dogs from Disc-Connected K9s have provided entertainment around the world and have performed for some of the most amazing audiences. In addition, Frederick’s competition roster boasts more World Frisbee Dog Championship Finalists than any other team in the history of the sport. More specifically, Frederick boasts five different World Champion dogs, including Harley Davidson, a three-time champion, plus 18 different World Finalists. Coming to Carlisle is a homecoming of sorts for Frederick. Though he currently lives in Florida, he spent his early teen years in the Carlisle/Shippensburg area.

Handy Tips for a Successful Trip Through the Automotive Flea Market
FREE Taxi Service and Parts Hauling Help Get You From A to B at Carlisle
The Carlisle PA Fairgrounds is a large footprint that can be a challenge at times, even for the most experienced attendee. 82 acres, 16+ miles of paved roadway, vendors and cars everywhere…it’s easy to understand how you may start wondering to yourself “where did I see that part or car I want to buy?” “How do I get my purchase from its space to my truck?” “How am I going to do this?”
The Carlisle PA Fairgrounds is a large footprint that can be a challenge at times, even for the most experienced attendee. 82 acres, 16+ miles of paved roadway, vendors and cars everywhere…it’s easy to understand how you may start wondering to yourself “where did I see that part or car I want to buy?” “How do I get my purchase from its space to my truck?” “How am I going to do this?”
Never fear, because we’ve compiled a helpful list of ways that enhance your on-site experience at Carlisle! Thanks for joining us and enjoy your time at the show!
BRING CASH - The more the better. It’s hard to negotiate a deal without being able to pay.
WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES - It’s a lot of walking.
SUN BLOCK/DRINK LIQUIDS - You’ll be in the sun all day. It’s important to protect yourself and stay hydrated, especially if your weekend outdoors is your first prolonged exposure to the sun for the year.
REMEMBER THE SPACE - Take a picture of the space location or write it down. Every space at Carlisle has a disk to designate the space. Look down and you’ll see the space marker. Write down the letter and number. Don’t try to remember the space or the surrounding area. You’ll spend the rest of the day looking for it.
COME EARLY - Rare parts and great deals typically happen for the first person to find them. Set up day(s) and the first day of the event are for the serious shoppers.
ACT FAST - If you see a great deal, grab it. If you plan to come back later, it will probably be gone.
NEGOTIATE - It’s a flea market so don’t be afraid to make a REASONABLE offer.
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED - Chances are good that you will find something you weren’t planning to find, so keep your eyes open.
LOOK EVERYWHERE - Even if you are looking for parts for your brand of vehicle, don’t walk past the vendor selling parts for other models or generations just because you assume there’s no way the vendor has what you want. Give their space a look too. They might not only have it, it may be cheap since it’s not what they typically sell.
USE THE CARLISLE EVENTS APP - Use the FREE Carlisle Events app to easily find your way back to a vendor (if you know the row and space). You can also use it to check activity schedules, register for other events, connect with fellow enthusiasts via social media, browse a digital copy of the event guide and more.
STAY LATE – There are always deals at Carlisle, but sometimes the best ones happen early on day 1 of a show, or late on its final day.Vendors are typically more willing to negotiate when they are packing up – especially large items.
BRING A SHOPPING LIST - Our memories aren’t as good as we think. Write it down. You can even make a list on your phone. Take pictures of what you need.
BRING A BAG, CART, ETC. - Parts will get heavy so have a way to carry your purchases. Ask the seller if you can leave heavy parts until later.
HAVE IT HAULED - Carlisle Events offers FREE* parts hauling. Keep that in mind if you’re looking at an engine, transmission, truck bed, etc.
FREE TAXI SERVICE – Need to get from point A to point B but don’t feel like walking it? Carlisle Events offers a FREE* taxi service. Dial 717-960-6429 to secure a ride.
ASK! - If someone has parts for a vehicle but not the ones you need, ask if the seller has it. It might still be in his truck or at home. Even if he doesn’t, he might know someone who does.
KNOW THE VALUE - Do some homework on the parts you’re looking for so you know if the price is a good deal.
AVOID THE CROWDS - When you arrive, go to an out-of-the-way area to start rather than following the herd.
WALK IT ALL - Don’t miss any rows. The Carlisle Fairgrounds isn’t a perfect grid so make sure you hit every row and space.
ADVERTISE - Wear a hat, shirt or signboard that spotlights what you’re looking for. It just might create a conversation, especially if what you’re searching for is obscure and/or rare.
*While parts hauling and taxi service are free, donations are graciously accepted. Donated money goes directly to the Chip Miller Amyloidosis Foundation.
