Hey, I got notice that this year's Raleigh Amateur Radio Society RARSfest has also been cancelled.
Normally I would organize a non-profit island of tables for all our clubs to showcase ourselves and offer interactive involvement (such as a robotics competition, a learn to solder workshop, project making demonstrations, handing out live Linux & Opensource DVDs, or scanning with software-defined-radio), but this year is a bust due to the SARS-2 pandemic. The Durham FM Association DurHamFest for 2021 has also been cancelled, as has the Cary Amateur Radio Club Mid-Summer Swapfest. The NRV Spring Into Trains model train show is going on (May 1, 2021, https://nrvclub.net/spring-model-railroad-show/), but due to pandemic restrictions no non-profit interactive tables are being allowed at this time. We'll have to see if all our clubs can get together for this year's Raleigh's SparkCON or Durham's CenterFest in September. - sgh -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: RARSfest News Feb. 2021 Date: Thu, 4 Feb 2021 00:14:40 -0600 From: Hamfest at RARSfest.org <[email protected]> To: RARSfest News Subscribers <[email protected]> *48th Annual RARS/fest/* *ARRL NC State Convention * * April 16, 2022 at NC State Fairgrounds* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *RARS/fest/ 2021 CANCELLED * The Raleigh Amateur Radio Society (RARS) and the RARS/fest/ committee have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 RARS/fest/, due to increasing concerns regarding the resurgence of COVID-19. We hold the safety of our many guests and volunteers as our responsibility. Even if a facility were to become available, our concern is that it would be impossible to provide a safe venue for an event the size of RARS/fest/. We thank our many loyal guests, vendors, exhibitors and volunteers for their past patronage spanning nearly 50 years. We look forward to seeing you on April 16, 2022 for the 48th RARS/fest/. *Use this **contact form <https://www.rars.org/mailform.php?recipient=k4hf>****for RARS**/fest/**2022 queries.*
