Subject: [MMRCG] 2022 Hamvention attendance

From the Hamvention People:

The official attendance at Hamvention 2022 was 31,367 General Chairman Rick Allnutt, WS8G, said although that was about 1,000 less than 2019, he considered it not bad for a pandemic recovery year. Hamvention was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 because of the covid pandemic.

I thought it was a good show.

2016 25,364 Last year at the old Hara dump.

2017 29,296 First time in Xenia, year of the “Mud Fest”

2018 28,417

2019 32,472

2020 Covid

2021 Covid

2022 31,367

The only time you saw attendance in the thirty’s was back around 1990 to 2000, think the lowest point was 2008/2009 with numbers around seventeen and eighteen thousand.
