CHAPTER PROFILE . . .

Tri-State Chapter of West Virginia, New York and Pennsylvania
October, 2020:  John Ehmer shared some pictures of the Tri-State Chapter's participation in this years Hearsemania show at Moundsville, WV State Penitentiary.  The Tri-State Chapter is one of 5 hearse/ professional car groups that sponsor and host this show.  All professional cars are welcome, as this is a neutral meet.  There is no registration fee to enter and you can display your car as desired.  It's a fun show with a Halloween type theme.  A great time was had by chapter members and many new friendships have been created with others within the professional car community.  In only their second year, they are beginning to obtain a local following and then some.  Drawing an even 50 coaches from 9 different states this year, the 2020 show was enhanced by the addition of 15 vendors.  They  are happy to answer any questions about the show you may have and welcome you to attend next years show.  You can visit the PCS Tri-State Chapter's Facebook website HERE.
