The Art of the Build | AACA Museum

Category: Fairfield Inn & Suites LancasterSteven @ 10:45 am

Whether it be Europe, Asia, here in America or anywhere in between, the world depends on mass-produced vehicles to make life convenient and comfortable. These vehicles and the factories that assemble them are what keeps economies growing, businesses flourishing, and families in motion. For most of the general population, a ‘showroom stock’ car is more than adequate. In fact, the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) prides itself on promoting the preservation and restoration of cars and other vehicles to the exact way a car left the factory for historical documentation. The AACA Museum’s “Art of the Build” exhibit focuses on these individuals, and the rolling art they have created. By treating each custom vehicle as a piece of sculpture, the Museum has planned this display as an art installation, celebrating each item for what it has become, not lamenting of what it once was. Each of these vehicles has been carefully planned, and painstakingly transformed by hand to its current configuration. Metal has been shaped, worked and smoothed, leather has been dyed, stretched and sewn, paint has been sprayed, sanded and polished, and power trains have been extensively upgraded by world-class craftsmen.

Come visit the Antique Automobile Club of America in Hershey, PA from now til April 27, 2014 at regular museum hours. Join automobile enthusiast for this wonderful display to celebrate the cars and their creators for not being afraid to be different !  For more information about the event you can visit the AACA website. To book your stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott you can visit our website or call our toll free number at 888-STAY-FFI.

Chocolate Workers Wanted | Hershey, PA

Category: Fairfield Inn & Suites LancasterSteven @ 12:55 pm

What ingredients helped the world’s largest chocolate factory to succeed? Fresh milk, cocoa beans and workers! The Hershey Story’s special exhibit explores life in Mr. Hershey’s chocolate factory from 1905 through 1925. As “new hires,” guests will try different jobs throughout the factory. Be sure to not burn the cocoa beans in the roasting department! Push Hershey’s famed bathtub trucks in the refining area. In the “knock-out” area, you’ll remove bars from molds without damaging the chocolate. Weigh boxes of Kisses, pack bars into boxes and fill customer orders in the finishing department. Once training is complete, guests will receive their final job assignments.

Along the way, learn how Hershey’s chocolate is made from bean to bar, how men’s and women’s jobs were different, and how much workers were paid.

Entry to the exhibit is included with regular Museum Experience admission. Admission for Hershey Story members is free. This exhibit will last until November 9, 2014 at regular museum hours. To book your stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites you can visit our website or call our toll free number at 888-STAY-FFI.
