NOW you're talking! :-)  The Socializing thing is what's really taken over
at Belton.  The facility (Bell County Expo Center) seems to have reserved
the entire weekend (starting Friday morning) for the HamFest.  People 
start showing up sometime in the middle of the week in their RV's, with
the majority showing up early Friday morning.

Always lots of room for everyone.  Big gatherings on friday night with 
musical instruments, lots of food, and comraderie and fellowship for all.

The QCWA NOS local chapter (promoting AM, in general) always
has a big presence.
