[FARC] Winterfest 2016 Announcement

[Richard Hayman]

> 
> I'm writing to make sure that you've heard about Winterfest 2016, the 40th annual ham radio flea market in Northern Virginia. This event brings hams and other makers together to find some bargains on radios, antennas, radio-related publications, electronics/computer gear, test equipment, and components. Winterfest grows every year, and I expect well over a thousand attendees this year. Commercial and hobbyist vendors will be set up at tables both indoors and in the outdoor tailgating area.
