https://near-fest.com/ Friday/Saturday April 28-29 2023 NEAR-fest is biannual 2 day event, primarily an outdoor flea market, but the indoor commercial buildings and ham forums are not to be missed. NEAR-fest held on the beautiful Deerfield New Hampshire fairgrounds. Picture plenty of seller space and parking. Overnight camping is permitted, you can find the details on the web link at the top of this page. Holding any outdoor event in New England each Spring and Fall is always challenging due to weather. This time the cards delt were all aces, meaning it DIDN'T rain! Friday was in the 60s and sunny, Saturday was overcast ~55°. Attendance was very good, plenty of both sellers and buyers, with a wide assortment of ham goodies available. This is a ham's happy place! Many thanks to the volunteer WORK of "Mr Mike" @W1RC and his fine crew for giving us such a fun experience and place to meet, greet, sell and buy. ~Clayton, N1VAU 603 ARC, N1PTT
