You give the Dayton Hamvention too much credit. Some of the things you mention draw much more in attendance or cover a footprint that Hara could not even come close to. Comparing apples and oranges with statements like that. The Hamvention will never be Vegas sized event. With attendance around 25000 over 3 days, that would not even pay the rent on that type of facility.

Lets face it...the Hamvention is small potatoes compared to almost all international conventions. Our boat show in Milwaukee is bigger. Even a Green Bay Packer practice draws more people then the Hamvention. 66000 to watch the offence play the defense. And that is a 1 day event.

Comparing a hamfest to Packer football...now that's classic "apples to oranges" if there ever was such a thing.

Absolutely!  But then why should only others have all the fun!

Love it! A beer, a brat, a belch, and Packer Football.
Go, Pack, Go!

They're my second favorite NFL team.
#1 will always be the Cleveland Browns.
Even though they have been painful to watch for quite a few years now.
