Listing of Eastern Hamfests 2021.

<< < (2/2)

Yes, I used to go to Gaithersburg and Timonium, both were huge, I recall at peak Timonium had three buildings of indoor selling, plus the entire fairgrounds parking lot for tailgating.  There was a second hamfest in Timonium during the summer as well, the BRATS fest I think?

The York PA hamfest moved to Spring Grove, which is smaller though closer to me. Likewise the Westminster MD hamfest moved to the Sportsmans roller skating rink, also closer, and the BARC hamfest is in Upperco, also closer. So while smaller in size, they're all at least close to me, so I guess that is a win.

I have not been to a Howard County fairgrounds hamfest in years, so it will be interesting to see how large it ends up being. My hope is the pent up demand (at least to sell your junk) from all the cancellations the past year will make it fairly large. I believe the October hamfest here is still scheduled? I need to check.

I might give Berryville a try, although it is a bit of a haul from here.  The Chambersburg PA hamfest seems to be on for the end of July. VE testing... hmm... maybe I can cram for my Extra by then  :)
