Hello Jeff:

Michael Kalter, W8CI - Treasurer of DARA will be on Ham Nation live this

Don't know what the square footage of the Greene County Fairgrounds is but
this is the information about Hara from their webpage:

Ball Arena - 27,000 sf
Conference Center 97,000 sf
East Hall - 32,000 sf
Hara Arena - 16,000 sf
North Hall - 24,000 sf
Silver Arena - 14,000 sf

Total inside exhibit space 210,000 square feet. I can't imagine the
fairgrounds having this much indoor space. Maybe they might have to limit
the indoor exhibit space to amateur radio only companies? I bet exhibitors
will have to pay more due to limited space. The flea market would probably
fit in that oval track area.

Also looked at the Greene County Fairgrounds webpage. For the county fair -
parking outside the gates adjacent to the Fairgrounds is free. It doesn't
really say if that's on the grass or paved. Reserved parking outside the
Assembly Building on a paved lot and on a gravel lot outside the livestock
buildings is $40 per week. These areas are located inside the gates.

Hopefully more information is coming in the near future addressing this and
where the forums will be held.

Jeff
