[SMCARA] Timonium Hamfest

[Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS]

So!  What's the deal on the Timonium Hamfest?

Not on anyone's schedule and the gbhc.org website is a goner.  Another one bites the dust? Timonium went from a 2 day, 3 building, big tailgate lot to a single day, single building, no tailgate event. Handwriting was on the wall.

Between the old Gaithersburg Hamfest and Timonium, the DC area had a couple of the best 'fests on the East Coast. Manassas, Berryville (aka Winchester), Vienna, and Richmond are hanging on.  Frederick and Culpeper have swap meets on the sked.

Are we planning our swap meet this year?  It seems there is an interest, so we should plan for a small expansion and talk it up. Get our dibs in early for a food vendor!
