[ILHam] 2012 WCRA Mid-Winter Hamfest - St. Charles, IL

[Richard Bauer]

The 2012 WCRA Mid-Winter Hamfest will be held at the Kane County Fairgrounds
Exposition Center in St. Charles, Illinois on Sunday, January 22, 2012.
This is the same location as last year!  Hamfest hours are 8am to 1pm and
there will be plenty of FREE parking.

We’re planning a great hamfest that will include the usual flea market and
commercial vendors, on-site VE Testing, hourly prizes and more!

This year's forums include:

- At 9:30am, Rob Orr, K9RST, will present a program about the Chicago
Marathon and amateur radio.  \

- At 10:30 ARRL Central Division Director Dick Iseley will hold a town hall
meeting.

- At 11:30 FRRL Repeater Chairman Dick Illman, AH6EZ will present a program
on IRLP and Echolink.

Flea market tables may be reserved in advance and are $25, $35 with
electricity.  Day-Of tables, if available, will be $30, $40 with
electricity.  Everyone at your table must have a hamfest admission ticket.
Advance admission tickets are a bargain at $8 each and include four prize
stubs!  Day-Of tickets will be $10 and have only one prize stub.  Children
under 12-years of age are admitted free.
