Other than maybe Harkfest, I'm not holding out much hope for this season.

Wow, Payson has just been added.
Last year was small, but a nice trip anyhow. And the airport open house was the same day.
Might be larger this year due to the others cancelling. Or not......

It was a good hamfest season, although I do believe attendance was down across the board.

Nothing now until fall and none of those are advertised yet.

Gas prices will probably put a dent in attendance by then, unfortunately.

Copafest is Saturday 10.29.2022 in Maricopa at the casino.

Also the Yuma hamfest is now defunct per their website.
The end of an era.

2023 Season Hamfests coming up.
