BRITISH MOTORCAR GATHERING

Up to 200 vintage British sports cars and sedans will be on display Sunday, June 14, when the annual British Motorcar & Motorcycle Gathering is staged at the Alfred J. Fritchman Reservoir Park in Hellertown, just south of Bethlehem.

Spectators are invited to come see many beautiful and interesting classic cars and enjoy the day in the wooded park from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with music and catered breakfast and lunch food available in a large picnic pavilion. 

Admission is $5 per person. Children 12 and under admitted free, with a British car coloring book and crayons and a car search game provided for their education and entertainment.

Admission includes parking at Saucon Valley Middle School, 2100 Polk Valley Rd., Hellertown, and free trolley bus rides running a continuous loop the short distance to and from the park during the show. Spectators also get a free ticket for a special gift basket raffle, being held just for those who have come to see the cars.
