2009 Wrap Up
by
Mike VE3OGE
Hamfest Coordinator
The
Thirty-Fifth Central Ontario Hamfest
This is the year we tried going all electronic for the vendor bookings, with
a lot of success and some envy from other hamfest organisers, but still some
potential for improvement next year. We thank all the vendors who patiently
followed our information requests for registration.
Once again this year we are grateful that the weather cooperated! Both the
vendors (especially the tailgaters) and our public enjoyed sun and cloud,
with a light wind- not too hot and not too cold- just like Baby Bear’s
porridge!
We welcomed Doug VE3DTX and the Dufferin County Emergency vehicle. We also
hosted the ONTARS Net which Al VE3TET and his colleagues operated directly
from on site.
Nevertheless, while the venue has been popular, we can no longer afford to
host this event at the Centre Wellington Sportsplex in Fergus. Our costs
have been rising very rapidly the last few years. It’s become too expensive
for us.
We scouted suitable locations and decided on the Waterloo Police Association
Recreation Park in Cambridge. It’s right beside Highway 401 (between exits
268 and 275). It has a large, bright, clean hall for the inside vendors.
Outside, it’s enormous! A huge parking lot with lots of suitable tailgating
space, and plenty of secure parking. We’re already planning some features to
make your visit to our grand ol’ fleamarket/ hamfest at our brand new
location a fine experience.
.
Our sincere thanks to our prize sponsors, who add a touch of excitement to
our event with the ever-popular door prize draws and final grand prize
draws.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to those hams from both clubs who carried out
all the required tasks- it can’t happen without you! It was hard work, but a
lot of fun.
