#HamFest
Sure, Michael,
Dayton Hamvention:
When: April 23, 24, 25
Where: Dayton, Ohio
Dayton Hara Arena & Exhibition Center
Registration: $14.00 at door, good all three days. Tickets go to this
price starting noon Thursday. Can get the tickets for $11.00 if you buy

There are a total of 2818 Flea Market spaces, including 128 spaces in the
tent area. There are over 500 inside exhibit spaces.
How to get there: Use the FREE bus service! There is FREE parking at
Forest Park, Salem Mall, Mendelson Electronics, and the Meijer store
(North Main Street). If you don't take the FREE bus service, you will
have to fight for one of the 8000 privately owned pay-to-park spaces near
the arena. Bus service runs the same hours as the Flea Market except on
Sunday the service runs until 1700.
Have fun if you plan on attending. Lots of clone deals to be had, too.
Bring your money and be prepared for the hourds of people (attendance
usually draws close to 35,000 people) – it gets a might cramped inside!
