I am officially making my first pilgrimage to Hamvention this year. Bought tickets last night.
@jalefkowit Looks like they're going to make it a banner year with the new venue over in Xenia. I'm excited to see how it turns out!
@kirkman Yeah, I was bummed out last time I was back there to see Hara Arena (the old venue) had closed. Back in the day Hara was the place you went in Dayton for all sorts of events - Hamvention, concerts, sports. Seeing it go was kind of the end of an era.
It had kind of gone to seed in recent years though, so I can understand why it closed. And the new venue (the Greene County Fairgrounds) is solid, so hopefully Hamvention will be there for many years to come!
@kirkman oh, man. I grew up in Dayton and have _so_ many great memories of Hamvention from those years. Have fun!
