Lerch RV Celebrates a Spectacular 47th Open House Sale.

This past Saturday, May 4th, 2024, we at Lerch RV hosted our 47th annual Open House Sale, and what a fantastic day it was, even if the weather put a slight damper on things! As an owner of Central PA’s biggest towable RV dealership, I am thrilled to share that the event was a resounding success, filled with fun, festivities, fantastic deals, and many RV sales.

When the doors opened, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement and community spirit. Guests from near and far gathered to explore our wide selection of RVs and take advantage of our special open-house sales event pricing. It’s always a pleasure to meet with our customers face-to-face, and this event provided the perfect opportunity to connect with new and familiar faces.

Feasting and Festivities

No celebration is complete without good food, and thanks to the Lewistown Moose Lodge, there was plenty of it! Free food kept everyone fueled and ready to explore everything on offer. To help with the thirst-quenching, Shy Bear Brewing was on hand, serving up some of their finest brews. Their locally crafted beers complemented a day filled with leisurely paced RV browsing and good company.

Special Appearances

Some notable guests made the event even more special. The legendary Penn State Nittany Lion made an appearance, bringing smiles and excitement to our guests, especially the children and those young at heart. The energy was palpable, and the joy our mascot friend brought to the crowd was a highlight of the day.

Adding to the Penn State pride, Linebacker #43, Tyler Elsdon, was also in attendance. Tyler spent the day answering questions, signing autographs, and sharing insights about Penn State football. His presence was a real treat for sports fans and added an extra layer of excitement to the event.

AAA sees Gas Prices Falling for Summer 2015

Lower gas prices may be on the way for U.S. consumers by this summer if refinery maintenance ends smoothly and crude oil remains relatively cheap, AAA said in a news release.Gas pump with money  As reported by the St. Augustine Record, the travel company’s release said it is even possible that gas prices will return to near $2 per gallon in some areas, as long as there are no unexpected problems in the meantime.

 

AAA does not expect the national average to rise above $3 per gallon this year. “There is a real hope that gas prices could drop significantly in time for the busy summer driving season,” said Mark Jenkins, AAA spokesman. “The overall outlook looks good for drivers, and with any luck we will avoid the types of problems that often lead to higher gas prices at this time of year.”  Many refineries have completed seasonal maintenance, though unexpected problems could still occur. Many refineries and wholesalers will switch to more expensive summer-blend gasoline by May 1 to meet EPA clean air regulations.

 

The cost of crude oil is likely to be the most important factor influencing gas prices over the next few months. At the close of Friday’s formal trading, WTI settled at $49.55 per barrel — 68 cents higher than the week before. Many experts believe that crude oil prices may drop further due to abundant supplies, but international conflict, declining production or other issues could result in higher prices.
