Heh! The key phrase from their flyer is "It's like a zoo in here". Trust me it is!
When I went a couple of years ago, they actually had a state trooper on route 30 with cones directing people going to the sale to queue up on the shoulder long before the exit ramp. Took me as long to go the last couple of miles as it did to drive from the Delaware border to Lancaster.
And now that they're "That Pet Place" you'll trip over more cats and dogs than you knew existed.
Sales are okay on the really, really common bread and butter stuff. The tent sale is great if you have good contacts to find missing parts for or can cannibalize discontinued equipment. I found an old filter missing parts I bought for 50% off to cannibalize for the one I couldn't get parts for any more and a 20-year old box of Dupla laterite for 50% off. But those two purchases took about 8 hours to accomplish.
Unless you've got a whole day to kill, money to burn, and are into buying things just in case you might need it some day I'd stay clear.
Cheers.
