o   I haven't heard of one in Gaithersburg so early.  Usually it's in the fall.
    If someone can confirm this please, let's all know.  Thanks!

o   You just missed the Manassas show last Sunday.  This was my first time
    but I have been told that this show usually happens around the beginning
    of June.

o   I do have the flyer for the Frederick HAMFEST at the Frederick County
    Fairgrounds in Frederick on Father's Day, 6/21.  Admission is $4.00

o   On July 12th we push your 2-hr driving limit with a Hamfest & Computer
    show at the AG Center in Westminster, MD (Carroll Co).  Donation is $5.00.
    A lot of the usual folks go up to the farm country and make this a good
    show.  Certainly not the size of Timonium, Manassas, or Gaithersburg but
    I've usually found something up there I needed.

o   Two weeks later is one of the two or three big hamfests/computer show up
    in Timonium, MD (Balto Co) at the Timonium Fairgrounds.  Admission/donation
    isn't mentioned on the flyer but is usually $5.00.

o   For October 11th at the Howard County Fairgrounds we have the 16th annual
    CARA (Columbia Amateur Radio Assoc) HAMFEST.  This one is near the inter-
    section of I-70 and MD Rt 32 off MD Rt 144.

    Mark you calendars!   Holler if you want more information on these shows.
