Rain or shine, how about the weather? My snorkel coat was 70 miles away! The zoo that was the 2024 Hamfest is in the books. They told us that for a few extra $$$ we can have exclusive use of the fairgrounds. It’s something we are considering for our Centennial celebration.
Thanks to all who attended the 2024 event. We moved the prize drum to the Legacy building to be on one level, but that WiFi link to the paging system didn’t behave the way I expected. No worries. I have 11 months to solve that issue. The other thing we learned is that we need to plan next year THIS year. We started on September 11th and hope to have our leases and project in place by the 1st week of January 2025. We still need to improve the ticketing system and flea market space use. We tried two years of not marking spaces…We’ll fix that in ’25.
Next year, we will have a new chairman or chairgroup to plan and execute Hamfest 25, the 100th birthday of the Findlay Radio Club. Drop an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you can help on September 7th 2025.
For me, thank you to Scout Troop 302, The Findlay Trojan High School Hockey team, the Keyes family, and our club members that step up and make things work for this event. We will begin to tease the event about once a month as we meet and plan for next year.
