Winter is the slow season for hamfests. The St Paul Radio Club auction
isn't really a hamfest, but it is one of the few hamfest-type
activities during the winter and I include it mainly because it is in
the metro area. The Cabin Fever Reliever in St Cloud is next, followed
by the Northland Radio group and the Eau Claire auction. Midwinter
Madness is at the end of March and by then we're safely into warm
weather and the hamfest cycle continues..... September is definitely
the most popular month for hamfests!

So here is the updated list of hamfests in or near Minnesota in the
coming months.
I've put in minimum data but given you a web link to search for more
info. The hamfests on the bottom of the list have not been officially
scheduled since their 2013 dates and will be updated as they draw
near.
