CONCORD, NC: First Night

We had a later start to our day this morning, but there was no need to hurry.  Little House hit the road about 11 A.M. and headed north on I-85 for the 2 1/2 hour drive to the Cabarrus Arena near Concord, NC..... a multi-use facility where the Charlotte Hamfest will be held this weekend.

We are the only ones here tonight, parked in the rear of the buildings (satellite view)  in a paved parking lot that has underground hookups for RV's and lots of bright security lighting.  Tomorrow morning the dealers and flea market sellers will start arriving and setting up inside, and the hamfest actually opens tomorrow at 4 P.M.  On Saturday the event will run from 8:30 A.M. until 5 P.M.  We no longer sell items at hamfests, but we will be manning the Raleigh RARSFEST table to encourage people to buy tickets and tables for that event to be held on March 29. We should have several other RV's sharing our "campground" on Friday and Saturday night.

After settling into our spot, we visited with one of the vendors for awhile, then took showers and headed off to Fatz Cafe for a delicious dinner.

We'll be here until late Sunday morning, when we'll move about 10 miles to be next to Tom Johnson's Concord facility to get the refrigerator recall kit installed on Monday morning, before we head back to the Raleigh area.
