[Fourlanders] UPDATE! : Re: [Hamvention] Hamvention Moving

Mon Aug 1 16:21:40 EDT 2016

Well.how about that !!!  I never thought it would move out of Montgomery Co.
but the place they have chosen will be nice !!  I have been there before a
couple of times and it is very larger in size. 

The Green Co. fairgrounds are quite a bit larger (30+ acres) than the
Montgomery Co. fairgrounds and the buildings and facilities are a lot newer
than the Dayton Fairgrounds because when they rebuilt the Xenia fairgrounds
after the Xenia tornado in the 1970s they did it with Conventions and Expos
in mind.

The drive to these fairgrounds is going to be just about the same distance
from the Dayton Mall area as you drove up to Hara each day. Instead of
driving up I-75 you will simply take I-675 to the east.  But, it will
certainly be a longer drive for me from the Germantown area where I stay on
the farm. 

There will be plenty of general parking and most of it will be a lot closer
than they had it at Hara..

The downside I can see is that the flea market will most likely be on grass
areas like Shelby..unless they can offer under roof areas in the livestock
barns, which are also very nice, by the way. 

The other downside I see is that due to it being a fairground, most likely
beer sales (and other consumption rules that go with adult beverages on
fairgrounds) will not take place.  

But anyhow...this could have been a LOT worse. And, I don't see this being a
long term move, once Montgomery Co. makes their move for a completely new
fairgrounds and big Conference Center away from downtown Dayton and closer
to the airport.

If the new joint has better plumbing, and most importantly, better sewers,
then it'll get my attention.

I was thankful that we were uphill, and not downwind from the crapcano that
erupted in the boneyard a few years back.

I was carrying a parts of a TA-33Jr and taking the long-path around Lemon
James when I had to fjord the stream.

They are closing it before it falls down. I am glad they are moving out of
that dump, but they could move to somewhere worse. I can just imagine them
taking over the old Salem Mall. We'll have to take a sling blade to the
hamfest spot in the parking lot.

Dayton HamventionR 2017 News Update

The Dayton Amateur Radio Association (DARA) regrets to inform our many
vendors, visitors and stakeholders that, unfortunately, HARA has announced
the closing of their facility.  We have begun execution of our contingency
plan to move HamventionR 2017 to a new home. 

DARA and HamventionR have enjoyed many successful years working together
with HARA Arena and we wish the Wampler family the best. 

DARA and HamventionR have been working on a contingency plan in the event
HARA would become unavailable. We have spent many hours over the last few
years evaluating possible locations and have found one in the area we
believe will be a great new home! Due to logistics and timing issues, we
will make a formal announcement introducing our new partner. This
information will be coming soon. We all believe this new venue will be a
spectacular place to hold our beloved event. Please rest assured we will
have the event on the same weekend and, since it will be in the region, the
current accommodations and outside events already planned for Hamvention
2017 should not be affected.

We look forward to your continued support as we move to a new future with
The Dayton HamventionR.

Ron Cramer

General Chairman

Dayton Hamvention 2017
