Services to consider: Salt cave meditation; Ion Foot Detox Cleanse; Paraffin Hand Dips; Ear Candling; Infrared Sauna; Facials, Nail Services; Fingers & Toes Therapy; Massages; and the list goes on. So checkout the website and give them a call to get the time period that you want….it will be a first come first serve basis. They open at 9AM and close at 6PM on a Friday…although we are running the car show until 2PM only.

THIS IS A FREE EVENT—you decide how much you want to spend for the day. Cars will meet and park at Dairy Queen, 221 Penrose Place, Carlisle. New registers, call Pat Shaffer 717 258-4964 and feel free to leave a voicemail.

Gals, please bring a pair of your shoes. Something you wore at some point in your life —don’t care how old or young you were or even if they still fit you currently. We will not destroy them or alter them in any way…they are safe. But place them in a brown paper bag, if you have one without markings, and don’t share with other family members beforehand whose they are. Let’s see how many remember…and we will have some fun.

Eats are on your own. Spend what you want when you want. Dairy Queen usually has some nice specials and Tranquility is within walking distance. This is a rain or shine event. Bring a chair along and we will have a tent, too. Want to entice your fellow car friends? Bring a board game or cards to share. Let’s see how the day develops. Come share time with our car friends, relax, enhance your health, smile, laugh and ENJOY!
