57th Annual Hamfest Returns To Fairgrounds Labor Day Weekend
The Chairman of this year’s event is Ben Melvin from Kings Mountain. This is Ben’s (KM4C Radio) third year as Chairman. After five years in Dallas, the Hamfest is excited and happy to be back home. Ben said: “We’re looking forward to being here where we have always belonged. We have a lot of people who are saying how glad they are to be back at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds.” Hamfest is a gathering of ham radio operators, mostly from the Southeast but many come from all over the country and different parts of the world. The American Radio Relay League has announced that the 2014 Shelby Hamfest will be the host site for the state convention. There’s always something to find and new things to discover at the annual Hamfest. Tickets are $8.00 at the gate and gates will open both days at 7:00am.
