Stone Mountain HamFest CANCELLED!
The
Alford Memorial Executive Committee & The
Stone Mountain HamFest Committee
has
been following the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, at this date, the news is
not good.
Over
the last couple of months, we have worked with the Gwinnett County Fairground
authorities, Gwinnett County Health Department, and our legal counsel. We have
reached the following conclusion: There is no way we can maintain the six-foot
“social distancing” separation, while ensuring proper masks are always being
worn. This is especially true in the flea market, commercial buildings, forums,
and VE examination rooms to guarantee everyone’s safety.
We
regret to announce, based on these factors and concern for public safety, that
the Stone Mountain HamFest and ARRL Georgia Section Convention is CANCELLED for
this year. Refund information is being sent to those who have pre-paid for
vendor booths and flea market tables.
We
are looking forward to and already planning for 2021. Our committee is engaged
in making the next Stone Mountain HamFest and ARRL State convention bigger and
better than ever.
Thank
you for your loyalty, and continued support of the Stone Mountain HamFest. We
are looking forward to welcoming you on November 6 and 7, 2021.
Sincerely,
Mike
Smith, KK4KHS
Stone
Mountain HamFest Chairman
