Saturday morning brought occasional showers to start the day, so we were in no hurry to go to the hamfest. After arriving about 10:30 A.M., the rain stopped so we made one purchase inside and walked around a small part of the flea market before deciding we were ready to head back to the RV for lunch and some restful relaxation. Selene had a short nap, then we prepared for another happy hour with about 18 people showing up. At 5:45 P.M. we all headed to Rob's Restaurant in Brookville where we met about 20 other people to enjoy Rob's bountiful buffet.
Sunday was the last day of the hamfest and we wanted to be there for the prize drawings held in the Hara Arena. This hamfest gave away over $80,000 in prizes. You didn't have to be present to win one of the 9 top prizes All of the hourly prizes that weren't claimed were given away to those who stayed around for the drawings, probably about 3000 people out of the over-25000 that attended during the 3 days of the hamfest. We weren't lucky enough to win, but one of our Raleigh friends won one of the top 9. Back at the campground, another happy hour had 8 people attending and we all went to Buffalo Wild Wings for supper.
We got an early start this morning (Monday) and left the Tall Timbers Campground about 9 A.M. for the long drive through the Ohio farmland, and the West Virginia and Virginia mountains to the Cool Breeze RV Park near Galax, VA. We've been here several times with our local camping club, but this time we're co-hosting a rally for 29 members of the RV Radio Network. The event officially starts tomorrow and we'll have several activities each day. Tonight there was an early bird dinner at the Galax Smokehouse.
