No, but the $25 entrance fee was new to me, as was the $10 shuttle ride.
Haven't been there in a few years, but I asked the management to kiss me
goodbye this time, since I don't intend to get raped twice. Would estimate
that attendance is down 30-40 percent from Dayton's hey day. Still the
biggest, but plenty of room both indoors and outdoors. If the League hadn't
taken an entire wing of the inside, there would have been an echo in there.
Another year or so of this and Shelby will be the king of the hill and
Dayton will be a memory.

Never been to Dayton during the ham fest (was there Oct couple years ago
for another convention) and I would have liked to see it in its heyday,
but alas it sounds depressing now.

I used to attend the HOSS TRADERS hamfest in New Hampshire years ago
when I was stationed in Maine. It was HUGE and covered almost all of the
facility they rented (some kind of Fairgrounds).

Alas here in Washington State Ive yet to find one even close to either
of these
