First time attending also.  Nice folks.  Well run Hamfest.  Had fun.  Drive from Fort Walton Beach, Fl. is too long for me.  Lots of folks there.  I do have one thing that I did not like.  Disabled parking was 10 dollars a day.  Was told that it was the city that did that.  Do not know.  I have use a walker because I can't stand for more than 10 minutes and have problems walking.  Was hopeful that they had the Scooter round folks that rent the electric scooters.
