I was standing in the long line prior to opening the first day at Xenia. (My
first time to "Dayton".) Struck up a conversation with a few people waiting
near me. One of them knew the Greene County Fairgrounds. Suddenly he pointed to
the area where the entrance gate was and said there used to be a line of tall
trees there, but several years ago a set of tornados took them down. Now how
eerie and - hopefully - not prophetic.

According to what I was told, the Greene County Fair Board has agreed to put
in air conditioning in the three main buildings if the the Hamvention folks
will sign a long-term contract. I think they want something like a ten-year
deal. 73 de Carl N8VZ
