The ARRL approved 2016 Rochester Hamfest (our 89th year!) will be taking place on Saturday, May 28 at a NEW location: Eastman Business Park (a.k.a. Kodak's Theater-on-the-Ridge), 200 West Ridge Rd., Rochester NY. We are NO LONGER at Barnard Fireman's field. Flea Market opens at 6:00 am and parking slots are only $5 each. General parking (no selling) is FREE. Admission to the Flea Market is $5 per person. RARA members and those under 18 years of age are FREE. All adult admissions include a FREE raffle ticket. Check out our FREE QSL card checking for ARRL awards chasers and FREE VE Testing! Because this is Memorial Day weekend, we are in the midst of planning some family events that are sure to captivate the non-hams in your family. Watch the website for updates on this! Those wishing to arrive early may book a discounted room at the Hampton Inn; where you can enjoy complimentary hot breakfast, 24-hour coffee, WiFi and heated indoor pool! Look for the link on the web site. Other amateur radio clubs are ENCOURAGED to attend and setup a table or tent (stakes not allowed) in the Flea Market area. This is a great opportunity to showcase your special interests and sign up new members! SPECIAL NOTE TO CLUBS: Those that provide an approved FREE activity or service to other attendees will be upgraded to "premium space" at no additional cost!

There is even an entrance for westbound traffic and an entrance for eastbound traffic to speed up entry time! Talk-in on 145.11 PL110.9 and when you get close enough "Event Info" on 107.5 FM, too!
