[K3PZN-List] Youthful Hams in VA Blue Ridge

[Michael Fisher]

These schools have a hamfest on the Saturday before the Berryville fest. Clink and I went there about 4 years ago. It is about the size of our tailgate fest. They use a gym for a few inside vendor's and had about 20 or so outside tailgaters. Some of the vendor's use it as a stop-over on their way to Berryville.
