so i heard the Tri-County fest is back this year after they cancelled it the last two years, supposed to be at the fairgrounds again on the 18th. havent been since like 2019 and i remember they had a pretty decent flea market section last time, picked up an old Kenwood HF rig for almost nothing. curious if anyones planning to go or if the turnout has been getting worse like a lot of these smaller regional fests seem to be lately

yeah im planning on going, dragging my buddy who just got his tech license along too so he can see what its all about. last year i went to the one over in Millbrook and honestly the swap meet tables were pretty thin, lot of the usual junk you see at every fest but a few guys had some decent stuff if you got there early enough. the forums and talks are usually worth sitting in on at Tri-County from what i remember though

our club is actually setting up a table there this year, selling off some donated gear and doing a little membership drive. if you see the OARC banner stop by, we usually have some good deals on stuff thats been sitting in the shack since forever lol
