I attended Puyallup last year for the first time in about 15 years. I had a table reserved this year but between recovering from an illness,
the cold and nonstop rain deluge, the hassle of setting up at that location, i just couldn’t do it. If you’re used to hamfests where you
just drive up and park, and then maybe use your wagon to haul stuff into the building, the logistics at Puyallup are tiring, the waiting
in line, like stop & go traffic, car exhaust in the air, this all while it’s still dark, not up there on the fun list. Last year i found it a good meet,
though not as great as i’d remembered it from the past, and i don’t think that’s entirely nostalgia. It certainly didn’t have anywhere near
the variety and quality of items seen in your photos.
True, you never know what will turn up at any event. I did see for the first time in my life, the “Navy small AC supply for RU-GF”, and
at a reasonable price. Dammit, i had my phone, i should have “documented” it. Maybe i was just too tired and jangled at that point
to think.

>The grass is always greener - A buddy here in NC used to fly his plane out to Puyallup every year, claiming it was the best hamfest anywhere.
