Drive to Way-Har Farm Market for ICE CREAM
2025-04-19 13:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York)
Ken is resurrecting a drive from a couple of years ago that travels numerous fun roads in Berks County and visits the Way-Har Farm Market, near Bernville, PA. Way-Har is noted for its quality ice cream that is made from the milk of the farm’s “local” cows. Can’t get more fresh than that!
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!
This drive has a lot to offer… don’t miss it!

Pancake Breakfast / Airshow / Car Show / Airplane Rides / Ice Cream
2024-06-16 09:00 - 14:00
For the third consecutive year, LVMOC has had the good fortune to be invited to an event by Chapter 839 of the Eastern Experimental Aircraft Association, on May 12, 2024. As in previous years, there will be a pancake breakfast ($8 contribution per person), an aircraft fly-in and a car show (LVMOC member cars and classic British cars, in this instance) at the Pegasus Airpark, near Brodheadsville, PA. 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 12, 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 12. There is no organized group drive from the Lehigh Valley to the Airpark.
