Ken and Evan will lead us on a nice drive along the twisty roads of Lehigh and Berks Counties, eventually arriving at Dieffenbach’s Potato Chips, near Womelsdorf, PA. Dieffenbach’s has become LVMOC’s traditional source of exceptional potato chips, with many varieties to suit our tastes (they have other snacks, as well!).

EAA Chapter 839 will have their aircraft on display and many will be taking off and landing on the airfield during the event.
The Keystone British Car Club has been invited to participate on the same date, May 18, so we will have the opportunity to “rub elbows” with the owners of many of the British cars that we “cut our teeth on” in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
After this event, LVMOC will escort the Miatas (and Brits, if they wish) to an ice cream rendezvous at an ice cream destination (not yet determined).
The LVMOC participants should plan to arrive at Pegasus Airpark by 9:00 a.m. on May 18. There is no organized group drive from the Lehigh Valley to the Airpark.

Way-Har also sells Dieffenbach’s potato chips, so participants on this drive can satisfy their Dieffenbach’s “fix”, as well. Lastly, there is a large variety of baked goods with which to fulfill your craving for such goodies!
