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 them Wednesday, or earlier, at the ticket office. Flea market: Friday 0800-1800 Saturday 0600-1700 Sunday 0600-1600 Exhibits: Friday 1200-1800 Saturday 0800-1700 Sunday 0800-1400 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! 73, Kelly

Kelly, Do you live around here (Dayton), or are you coming in from elsewhere? Electronics weenies like me feel very lucky to just leave the house and drive to Hara when we walk around hearing people speaking different languages! If I were smart, I'd rent out my house! Karl
