2011 Wrap Up

GARC Co-Chair

The Thirty-Seventh Central Ontario Hamfest

The GARC-KWARC annual Hamfest and Flea Market was held at the Waterloo Regional Police Recreation Facility again this year. Unlike the rainy day we had last year the excellent weather brought a sell-out of tables and a great turnout of tailgate vendors.

There were bargains to be had and eager buyers snapped many of these up early in the day. The Elmira Radio Club operated ONTARS from a dream station on site - the Yaesu FT-9000. This generated a lot of interest, judging by the people crowded around this wonderful rig. Our thanks go out to the Elmira Club for their station management and to Radio World for providing the loan of the Yaesu FT-9000.

Hamfest is an important event and a major source of revenue for both clubs and volunteer participation by GARC and KWARC was very good this year. Thanks to all who contributed their time to organizing and carrying out the various duties that made this year's Hamfest such a successful event. We also wish to thank our various vendors who contributed products and prizes to the draws.
