DARC Prater’s Mill Free Hamfest- 9/12/2009

Join the members of the DARC for the free Prater’s Mill Swapfest on September 12, 2009.  The DARC does not provide tables or a roof over your head for this swapfest, but bring your tailgate and table and sell your gear for no cost to you. 

The Swapfest starts at 7 a.m. and ends when everyone has sold out or is just too tired to continue.  It’s a great opportunity for fellowship with hams from around the region.

If you need directions, try one of the local repeaters and someone will probably be there to talk you in.

Here’s a map to Prater’s Mill:
