Description
Dilworthtown Wine Festival, Car Show, and Southern Chester County Drive, Sunday Oct 13th
Come join your host Paula Gavin for a scenic drive through Southern Chester County's Hunt Country to the Dilworthtown Inn for their annual fall wine festival and car show. Proceeds from the event benefit the Abramson Cancer Center at Chester County Hospital.
Meet- PJ Whelihans, 1347 Wilmington Pike (202) West Chester by 9am. We'll leave for the drive at 9:30 sharp. If you get there early, there is opportunity for coffee and restrooms at Duck Donuts or Giant. Wawa and Starbucks are also close by. The early start time is needed to get us into the Festival area before the Police close the roads. Plan for about an hour of downtime between the drive and Festival start to get the show area set up and for any last minute touchups to the cars.
Details/Tickets - While others attending the Festival will be parked far away, we'll have parking on the Festival grounds in the car show area (paved). Hint, clean your car and maybe bring a chair. As a thank you for showing your car, the Festival is offering 1 free general admission or 1 discounted VIP admission per car. Additional tickets are available for $45 (general) or $110 (VIP).

That way I'll know how many cars to plan for and be able to get any late breaking news out, such as any changes to start times if the police plan to close roads at a different time. If you'd like to just join for the drive, that is ok, just let me know. The drive and Festival will happen rain or shine. In the event of bad weather the car show part will likely cancel, however the free/discounted tickets historically have still been honored.
