Pennsylvania Department of Health is suing Carlisle Events to stop 'Spring Carlisle' from exceeding 250 person gathering limit

On June 9, Carlisle Events inquired to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development about a waiver that would have permitted the Spring Carlisle car show to exceed the 250 person limit and allow approximately 100,000 people to attend the gathering.

Carlisle Event's public relations manager Mike Garland says the event will go on as planned.

"There is no one location here at the fairgrounds where 250 people will be gathering at any one time during this event or any other event on our season schedule," said Garland.

However, the Department of Community and Economic Development told Carlisle Events that they must follow all guidance issued by the Department of Health, including the limit of no gatherings larger than 250 people outlined in Governor Wolf's plan.

The complaint states that on June 16, the Pennsylvania Department of Health sent an e-mail to Carlisle Events reminding it of its obligation to comply with all orders, including the 250 person limit.

Despite requesting a written response from Carlisle Events, the Department of Health claims no response was received, and that according to the Carlisle Events website, they plan to defy the order.

The suit states that the Spring Carlisle car show can take place, but just at a limit of 250 people.

  1. That will never work. As a attendee of the Carlisle shows, the number of people going in and out of the gate is well over 250 at one time, especially at opening, not to mention the sprawling fair grounds having throngs of people mingling with each other. I knew this was going to happen. This might come to a real head when Garland locks horns with Wolf. Doesn't look good to me from where I sit. If Wolf wants to he can call out the state militia to close down Carlisle, and that would hurt a lot of businesses in the area that are already hurting.
