and the rest of humanity went to TACO ... it has been a while since we posted but TACO predated and postdated the 340 and, like Chestnut Street hockey, it deserves a Blog of its own and a reunion weekend
The annual Celebration of Life and Rebirth of the Earth Festival took place over McMorial Day weekend annually from 1973 through 1990. It was a freedom filled, inhibition void, weekend of the standard trilogy. Ostensibly celebrating the earth. For me (and I went to maybe 3 or 4), it was a drunken weekend of debauchery. We all celebrate the earth differently. For the 340, it was a very quiet weekend until Sunday or Monday because when the troops returned home they usually had just a little party left in them. If memory serves me correctly the 340 Club Bear jumped during one of those raucous returns.
The last TACO was held May 25-27, 1990. It was TACO XVIII. It was held on PA324 just north of the Bullfrog Inn and not all that far from this year’s 340 Club event.
