I bet they don't have leaky roofs, parking lots falling apart, paint pealing off the walls, A/C that may or may not work, zero humidity control, scary restrooms.
I think that this tendency (which in moderation is good) toward "organization" got these folks into trouble
a few times??
Lack of defined organization and lack of personal volunteer commitment got the Hamvention in trouble a few times.
Thanks, I'll stick to red, white and blue style hamfests, thanks.
Personally, I'm finding them more and more boring as each year passes. For the hamfests I still attend, if I didn't go as seller, I'd be gone within a half-hour to an hour after I got there.
