[ILHam] *** PLEASE READ IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE WCRA HAMFEST ON SUNDAY ***

[Rich Bauer via ILHam]

If you are planning to attend the WCRA Hamfest on Sunday please be aware of
a change in how traffic will be entering the fairgrounds.

If you have been to the WCRA Hamfest before then you know that we have had
traffic enter the fairgrounds through a gate off of Randall Road.  We were
informed, quite late I might add, that this year the city of St. Charles has
forbidden us to have northbound Randall Road traffic make a left turn across
southbound Randall Road traffic to enter that gate.  No reason was given but
I suspect that it had to do with safety. 

The city wants us to direct ALL Randall Road traffic...NB and SB...to turn
WEST at the intersection of Oak St and Randall Road (LEFT for NB traffic,
RIGHT for SB traffic).  Oak Street is 1-BLOCK north of the fairgrounds gate.
the intersection is controlled by a stop light which will make it easier,
and safer, for traffic to enter and exit the fairgrounds.  

On the map (see URL link below) the now unused gate is shown as 'Home Show
St. Charles'.  once you've made the turn on Oak street just follow the signs
to parking.

talk in will be 145.31/r (no tone needed) or 146.52.

we hope you have a great time at the hamfest!
