When: It's hard to say but they let tail-gaters go in at 6am.
	I'm not sure when the general, non-selling public is allowed to go
	in.   I guess figure around 7-8am for that.  Get there early for a
	decent parking space.

Where: Yes, the Timonium Fairgrounds.  Get to the B'more Beltway (695)via
	Rt 29, I95, I295, or Rt 1 -- pick your poison.  Probably go around
	the west side of B'more and take the exit for I83 NORTH.  Warning:
	the exit for I83 NORTH and I83 SOUTH are at two completely separate
	exits!  Sorta like I66 E & W in Virginia.

	From I83 North exit at either Timonium Rd or Padonia Rd.  From the
	Beltway you'll hit Timonium Rd first -- Fairgrounds will be on your
	left. 

Admission is usually $5 with spouse and Kids under 12 Free.

I like the Timonium show(s) (there was one back in March too).  I've been
going to them for several years now.  Always a good mix and quantity of
tailgaters and dealers.

The MARYLAND HAMFEST AND COMPUTER FEST is sponsored by BRATS, the Baltimore
Radio Amateur Television Society.  The blurb I have states to call (410)
583-9147 for more info (although I can't imagine what more you'd need :-).

If it's sunny on Sunday it's usually a good idea to bring some sort of sun
protection and loose fitting closes.   Some sort of luggage cart can be
handy if you intend to haul away a bunch of stuff or new toys. :-)  Some
sellers won't take checks either so be prepared.
