[Boatanchors] Dayton Hamvention 2009

[David Knepper]

Got back last night late - Saturday.  Rained when we got to PA

The outdoor fleamarket is turning into a parking lot for nonvendors.  Lots
of cars with trunks closed!

Weather was super on Friday but Saturday was wet.  

When we left at about 5:30 PM or so, the fleamarket vendors were already
packing up and beating it home.  The fleamarket closes at 5 PM - Why?

Attendance was so-so - estimates were that attendance was down somewhat.  

Money was staying inside everyone's wallet.  Lots of lookers but no takers
as they say.

Collins gear was not in abundance as in previous years.

The Collins Forum, with our presenter, Dennis Brothers, was excellent.  Too
bad if you missed it.

For all those that stopped by 2325-2326 - thanks.
