Answers:
1:YES! What a great way to find that out-of-the-way bargain, as well as parts for my different projects!
2:YES! I don't go so much to buy things, as I do to see old friends & catch-up on what's happening with them eyeball to eyeball!
3:YES! Hamfests & Ham radio fleamarkets are a grand old tradition: I would hate to see them die-off, & so support them by my being there.
4:NO! They're usually over-crowded, smelly, & filled with odd-ball characters.
5:NO! If I want parts or other goodies there are far easier ways to acquire them, i.e. mail order, the internet, etc.
6:NO! The last Hamfest within driving distance here passed into history some years ago...
