XENIA, Ohio (WDTN) – Days after Hara Arena announced it will close
its doors, an announcement from Greene County officials revealed that
Hamvention will be held at the Greene County Fairgrounds next year,
according to our partners at the Xenia Gazette.

The event for ham-radio enthusiasts generated about $21 million last
year and drew a crowd of more than 27,000 for Montgomery County. The
proceeds for this year’s event will now go to Greene County.

“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,” a news release from
Hamvention General Chair Ron Cramer last week.

“We all believe this new venue will be a spectacular place to hold
our beloved event,” Cramer said. “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.”

Here’s a link to the announcement..

I’m sure that there will be more to announce in the coming days..
