The 44th annual Winterfest will bring hams and equipment vendors together on March 29, 2020.  Several amateur radio clubs will be on hand to provide information about the ham radio hobby, getting started, where to find instructional help for earning the amateur radio license and much, much more!  Vendors in new and used communications equipment, antennas, cabling, parts and supplies will also be on hand to help you find the hard-to-find.  Winterfest is an ARRL approved hamfest.

For Visitors

You’ll be able to find great deals on some of the best of both old and new gear.

QSL Checking will be available on-site until 12 noon.

For Vendors

A large indoor exhibit space can accommodate over 100 vendors. It’s an opportunity to reach customers in a region with many licensed amateur radio operators, and one that has the highest per-capita income in the country. Several major cities are within a 90-minute driving distance. Don’t miss this chance to reach new customers!  The indoor exhibit space will be open for vendor setup from 3:00 – 6:00 pm on March 28 and from 6:30 – 8:00 am on March 29, 2020.

Tables may be reserved starting December 1, 2019.  To reserve table(s) for Winterfeest 2020 see here.

We have never run out of tailgate space.  Admission for everyone, vendors and the general public, begins at 6:00 am  Sunday.  The college does not permit overnight parking prior to the event.

Schedule

The indoor exhibit area (gymnasium) opens to the general public at 8 am on Sunday and will remain open until at least 1:00 pm. Nobody will be allowed into the exhibit area before 8 am without a vendor pass.
