Greetings everyone, welcome to "Dale's Tales" for August, 2016.
NEWS FROM THE DAYTON HAMVENTION®: 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 Hamvention®
2017 to a new home.
DARA and Hamvention® have enjoyed many successful years working
together with HARA Arena and we wish the Wampler family the best.
DARA and Hamvention® 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 Hamvention®.
Signed:
Ron Cramer
General Chairman
Dayton Hamvention 2017
