2012 Nutmeg Hamfest
and ARRL Connecticut State Convention
Our 20th Year! 
Sunday, October 7th, 2012 8AM - 2PM

New Location!!

As you may have heard, our long time home --the Mountain Ridge Resort in Wallingford -- is in the process of being sold to a local church group.  At this point (March, 2012) :

We are actively looking for another location.
We are planning to hold the Nutfest on Sunday, 10/7/12
Our major vendors have all indicated that they will return.
We intend to present another first-class show, including lively and interesting speakers and VE examinations.
We expect to have a large tailgating/flea market area available.
Pending ARRL approval, we will once again host the CT State Convention.

New Location!!

 

Countdown to the 2012 Nutfest

 

The Biggest and Best Hamfest in the
TriState area and Southern New England

Less than 2 hours from NYC, LI, NJ, Boston, and Albany
Over 125 indoor spaces -- reserve early, these generally sell out
Unlimited tailgating space
Plenty of Free, Safe and Secure Parking
Best Hamfest Food Anywhere (really!)

This year we'll have more activities than ever before!
 

The Nutmeg Hamfest will once again host our popular demonstration of Emergency Communications Vehicles and Equipment including go-kits for personal use.  You'll be able to get up-close and personal looks at what others are doing, and get advice and ideas that you can incorporate into your own setup.  Just one more thing that makes the Nutfest Southern New England's Biggest and Best Hamfest.
