XENIA, OHIO - The Greene County Agricultural Society Board of Directors in
partnership with the Greene County Board of Commissioners, the City of Xenia
and the Greene County Convention & Visitors Bureau is pleased to announce
the Greene County Fair & Exposition Center will be the new home of the
Dayton HamventionR.  

Since 1952 Hamvention has been sponsored by Dayton Amateur Radio Association
(DARA). For many years it has been the world's largest amateur radio
gathering, attracting hams from throughout the globe. Over 25,000 amateur
radio operators and their families will descend upon Greene County and the
entire Miami Valley for three days of camaraderie, education and exhibits.
In 2017, the Dayton Hamvention will be held May 19-21.

 "We are so excited to be working with the Dayton HamventionR to bring an
event of this caliber to the Fairgrounds and Expo Center. The collaboration
between the Dayton Amateur Radio Association, the Agricultural Society and
the local governments has been inspiring. Spend time with this group of
professionals and volunteers and their passion for running a first class
event immediately becomes abundantly clear. I'm so proud of the way the
entire community has come together and embraced this endeavor," said Alan
Anderson, President of the Greene County Board of Commissioners.

The annual economic impact of the Dayton HamventionR has been estimated at
$15 - $17 million dollars. Hotels, restaurants, gas stations, local
merchants, and the Greene County Agricultural Society will all directly
benefit from the event.  

Ron Cramer, General Chairman of the Dayton HamventionR had this to say about
the event: "We appreciate and value all the time and effort of the many
partners, in particular the Greene County Agricultural Society, the Greene
County Board of Commissioners and the Greene County Convention & Visitors
Bureau has put into helping Hamvention find the right venue to continue our
long history here in the Miami Valley. We look forward to a long and
mutually prosperous relationship."

Michael Kalter, Official Spokesperson and CFO of Hamvention states that
"this event attracts attendees from all 50 states and 60 countries worldwide
each year with an estimated attendance of approximately 25,000."  

"The Greene County Agricultural Society is absolutely committed to providing
a world class experience for the Dayton HamventionR and its attendees,
exhibitors, volunteers and staff," said President of the Greene County
Agricultural Society Board of Directors Dan Bullen. "We are so appreciative
of the opportunity to host the event and the faith placed in us by the
Hamvention leadership. This will be an enormous event for the Fairgrounds &
Expo Center and we are confident the Hamvention will be a great success in
2017 and beyond due to the way the community has whole heartedly embraced
this event. The City of Xenia, Greene County Board of Commissioners and the
Greene County Convention & Visitors Bureau are incredible partners and we
are very grateful for their assistance."

The Greene County Fair and Expo Center located in Xenia, Ohio is a 501
non-profit, multi-purpose, 38 acre complex specially designed for fairs,
concerts, meetings, convention/trade shows, sporting and livestock events.

"The City of Xenia is looking forward to the 2017 Dayton HamventionR being
held within the greater Xenia community.  We will be working closely with
all the planning partners as well as with business owners and residents to
warmly receive the convention and conventioneers to our city," said Brent
Merriman, Xenia City Manager.

"The decision made by the Dayton HamventionR Leadership to keep the event in
the greater Miami Valley is a huge win-win for the entire region.  We are
extremely excited to work with the Greene County Expo Center, the Dayton
HamventionR team and all of their volunteers to guarantee the success of
Hamvention in 2017 and for years to come.  We fully expect this to be a five
star event!" said Kathleen Wright, Executive Director of the Greene County
Convention and Visitors Bureau.
