A Hamfest Report for the event on May 30th 2026

 

 

   Greetings,

If you were at the Hamfest on Saturday you know it was a great time!

Our guests came early and most stayed much longer than usual so they

could be eligible for the Grand Prize and 50/50 drawings. The perfect

weather was a key factor in the packed tail gate area and the food was

another big part of our overall success. Our attendee count was the

highest ever at 295! (Last year the number was 265.) The club profit

totaled $2,425!

This outstanding event came as a result of a lot of dedication and hard

work put in by many volunteers. Parking, ticket sales, dessert baking,

food sales, ticket printing, set-up, clean-up, PA system, club sales,

50/50 ticket sales, front table operations, prize solicitation, testing,

facility rental, publicity, and members who donated equipment for sale

at the club table. Other important factors are the annual Hamfest

button, controlling cash, table sales, and door prize management.

If that sounded like a long list…it’s because it takes all of these

components to make our Hamfest an enjoyable experience for our

guests and a profitable one for our club. A BIG thank you to everybody

who worked to make this Hamfest so special. Particular thanks to the

two club members who volunteered to manage all of this …Todd,

W9GRB and Dave, KD9HJJ.

Another super job! We’ll talk about it the club meeting on June 11.

Hope to see you there.

73,

Bill
