Title: Charleston Hamfest CANCELLED this SAT March 14TH!!!!
Post by: ThaDood on March 12, 2020, 2046 UTC

FROM: Mike, NU8LL,     FYI:

I just received formal notice from one of the hamfest committee members that the Charleston hamfest has been cancelled for this year.

I am sorry to hear this.  I was still planning to attend.  But I stand behind their decision, as they do it in the best interests of everyone.

Please feel free to pass this information on, as it is a late announcement.

73,
Mike

I would expect to see similar events cancelled in the coming weeks and months.

Our first hamfest of the season is April 25th, I suspect it too will get cancelled. A large gathering of older men, many with chronic medical conditions, sounds like a buffet for the virus.

My wife and I went to the Mansfield (Ohio) Hamfest last month and I saw a gentleman sitting at a table with a mask on. He did have a hand written note on the table that said he had a lung issue, can't remember if it was a transplant now, but did state he was not sick. I though that was very interesting at the time.
