So, you're saying that the price hasn't changed that much since I left
Ohio in the late '80s? Do you think that they get Hara Arena for free,
or all the cops and bus service for park and ride?

I think many think they do or more precisely that the Ham have already
paid the nation for those services by our "public service"



I was curious about the way it was run so I talked to the group that
organized the event every year. You wouldn't believe the crap they have
to wade through to run a hamfest that size, even though the money raised
is used to provide emergency communications for the area.
