I resent that (slightly).  ;-)

We had the same request to open the hamfest at a later hour a couple 
years ago. We discussed it and said we would keep it at 7AM since most 
of the locals preferred to have the hamfest early enough that they could 
come early and still have some morning left after a couple hours of 
looking and buying. Nothing says you have to be in line and waiting at 
6:45AM. If you get there at 8:30 you will still find buyers in a feeding 
frenzy looking for fresh meat. Although sometimes it can be a little 
hard to get setup if they are grabbing things out of your hands and 
demanding you take their money as you unload..... Be prepared, have it 
all priced the night before and have lots of $1, $5, and $10 bills when 
you arrive.....  :-)

We couldn't have had a better morning for the hamfest. Not a drop of 
rain until after 3PM. I even have a bit of new sunburn..... I hope it is 
as nice next year. We were better organized than last year, got the 
sellers moving at 6:45 as they should. We could still have used another 
couple ticket sellers for the buyers at bit before 6:45, but over-all it 
was not too bad. We had help from several of the Miners' ARC guys to do 
parking and traffic control, and that helped a lot. I hope everyone 
enjoyed themselves and thanks for coming!
