Minnesota area hamfests September & October 2014 (Doug Reed via MN-hamfest-reminder) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2014 11:13:05 -0500 From: Doug Reed via MN-hamfest-reminder To: mn-hamfest-reminder at lists.twinslan.net Subject: [MN-hamfest-reminder] Minnesota area hamfests September & October 2014 Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 This is probably the last reminder for 2014. We're down to a few hamfests in September and October, then it will be spring before we see much activity. Gas and travel is expensive these days. Get on the air and talk it up that you are going to a hamfest and try to get a group to ride along and share the gas expense. You'll save money on gas and avoid that long, lonely ride in the car! 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 last date and will be updated as they draw near. 73, Doug Reed, N0NAS. ===================== 2014-2015 Hamfests: ECMARC Hamfest, Rush City, MN High School Sept 6, 2014 9AM to 1PM Lake Elmo (K0IKV) Swapfest, 8247-27th St N, Lake Elmo, MN (FREE!)
