A big thank you to our hamfest volunteers and especially our hamfest chairman Dave AB3TE for another successful event in 2023. This year was an increased turnout which insured more vendors and buyer–all of whom we hope had an enjoyable day.
Our food vendor did a fine job with a breakfast menu, plenty of coffee and other goodies in 2023 and should return for 2024. Again, plenty of tailgating spaces and free customer parking; handicapped accessible. Overnight camping fees to be paid to the Bluegrass Festival on site. Talk-in is on 146.67- (PL 107.2).
Remember, our event is the last area hamfest before the annual ARRL Field Day for those last minute shoppers.
