Last year I attended this. Me and my wife took our camper out a week ahead of time and camped there all week. It was a great time to meet some of the other hams in the state. While I did not get to stay for the ham fest it was still a good time and I regret not being able to stay. This has been going on for many years. All hams are welcome and the people will make you feel that way. It is a tradition that younger and newer hams should not be afraid to get involved with. You will not regret it.
