[Boatanchors] Dayton hamfest photos 2026

[Nick England]

I don’t take any photos of newer equipment or the attendees. And only on
Thursday setup and first open day Friday. We left for home early Saturday.
Threat of rain and a 9- hour trip for me and 11 for Brian.
I think only a minority of attendees make it to the flea market. Most never
get beyond all the shiny new toys and forums in the buildings and the
nearby flea market spaces. They may not get to the majority of the flea
market which is located in the race track far away from parking.
That said, in recent years the flea area near the buildings has been
expanded by 2-3 long rows and the Race track spaces have been pretty much
sold out. So definitely more flea activity.
Our van full of stuff was completely sold out by Friday noon. YMMV.
