[Elecraft] Hara Arena Hit by Tornado

[krug261 at yahoo.com]

 I was standing in the long line prior to opening the first day at Xenia. (My first time to "Dayton".) Struck up a conversation with a few people waiting near me. One of them knew the Greene County Fairgrounds. Suddenly he pointed to the area where the entrance gate was and said there used to be a line of tall trees there, but several years ago a set of tornados took them down. Now how eerie and - hopefully - not prophetic.

 According to what I was told, the Greene County Fair Board has agreed to put in air conditioning in the three main buildings if the the Hamvention folks will sign a long-term contract.  I think they want something like a ten-year deal. 73 de Carl N8VZ
