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.
