I guess this new topic is for such items as this,
guess I'll find out....
Now is a good time to remind folks in the South of
2 well known Hamfests and a local but fun Tailgate
Party that occurs in August and early September.
(1)The Huntsville, Alabama Hamfest will be held on
August 16 and 17 . It is usually a very good
Hamfest.With new equipment dealers and new and
used parts galore. A great place to get happy.
(2)The Shelby , North Carolina Hamfest will be held
August 30 and 31, Labor Day weekend. This is a
great Hamfest and is growing each year. It does
require advanced lodging reservations and to
avoid standing in line at the ticket tables you
want to order gate tickets. There is lots to see
and great food and for us die-hard Iced Tea
drinkers they have real SWEET iced tea , not
the kind them Yankees say "well ,you can add the
sugar" HA!
(3) The annual Cedar Forest Tailgate Extravaganza
will be held on Sunday ,August 24. It may not be
large but it is a great opportunity to see old
friends and pick up a part or two. There is a
great deal of variety but ,to date, no new
equipment dealers. Bring your umberella, it often
rains. Follow the signs through the "Cedars of
Lebanon State Park" , just south of I-40 at
Lebanon , Tennessee. Get there early, Southerners
like to spend Sunday afternoon relaxing on the
front porch .
