[ARC5] Berryville hamfest

[Mike Feher]

I sure do miss Berryville. It was always a great hamfest and I always
managed to sell a lot and come home with more, HI. Unfortunately, I have not
been there for 20 years or so, but, used to go regularly when I lived in
Manassas, VA. Kathy and my boys were regulars for close to 15 years. Of
course I miss the Manassas hamfest most of all as I had a great deal of
personal time invested in arranging and participating in that fest. Vienna,
Gaithersburg, and Timonium were always great as well. But, no one could
compete with the chow at Berryville. 73 - Mike

They certainly do!  Hard to miss, with that terrific barbecue aroma 
wafting over the fairgrounds all morning... :-)
