Due to continued concerns with COVID-19, the 2020 Mena Hamfest, that
was scheduled for Sept. 11-12, 2020, has been CANCELLED.
Hopefully, full details will be announced soon at menahamfest.net
The only other "scheduled" hamfest in Arkansas for 2020 is the K5BOC
Memorial Hamfest, set for October 10, on Petit Jean Mountain in
Morrilton -- the website k5boc.org has further information. However,
because of COVID-19 concerns, and the recent spike of cases in Arkansas,
and the region, that hamfest may be cancelled as well.
Here are the tentative dates for 2021 Arkansas hamfests...along with
locations and websites. The dates are subject to change, and all of the
hamfests noted below, may be cancelled as well...basically making the
hamfests in Arkansas "a thing of the past".
Feb. 20, 2021 Lawrence County Winterfest
Hoxie, AR w5wra.org
March 6, 2021 ARVARF Hamfest
Russellville, AR arvarf.com
April 3, 2021 Hanging Judge Hamfest
Fort Smith, AR hangingjudgehamfest.com
Sept. 10-11, 2021 Queen Wilhelmena Hamfest
Mena, AR menahamfest.net
Oct. 9, 2021 Randy Griffin Memorial Hamfest
Morrilton, AR k5boc.org
The main ones I've attended were Hoxie, Russellville, and Fort Smith.
Scheduling won't let me make Mena or Morrilton...and there is no longer
a hamfest in the Little Rock area.
