The Southeast Iowa Hamfest for 2007 is now history. We had another fine fest marked by beautiful weather and a great turnout. The planning for next year is officially under way. Our preliminary flier is now online. We will keep it current through out the year.
Site setup and vendor setup went as well as usual on Saturday. The evening Wiener Roast was a welcome break for club members and vendors as we gathered for food and conversation. Attendance was strong and the new pavilion made a splendid location.
Splendid weather favored this year's hamfest and we saw a large field of tailgaters displaying everything one can imagine, or so it seemed. Inside, the vendors sold the wide variety of goodies we've come to expect and that everyone took time to look over. We are grateful to all our vendors who make our show worth the trip, welcoming back our stalwarts and "newbies".
We can't forget the VE team, laboring in the other building. Once again, this area boasted a number of newly licensed and upgraded hams, to whom we say "Congratulations and welcome!" Additionally, the internet connection provided by Liberty Communications allowed a couple of hams to get their license renewals started.
