Lates (not quite news, for those who were there) of the Hamvention

[K3WRY at aol.com]

All
The new Meadow Even Venue on I95 just north of Richmond,VA is a new very  
large facility and grounds that also hold the state fare and would hold the  
100,000 people and have have plenty of hotels, etc. in the area.  It is  
also close to Kings Dominion Park which is well know venue all over the  
country.
This could replace Dayton easily and is new and clean.

through my latest issue of Make  27, I see that since the Maker Faire was 
conceived about 7 years ago, more  than 100,000 people now converge upon the San 
Mateo County (California)  Fairgrounds during a Maker Weekend.  I grew up in 
San Mateo, less than a  mile from the county fairgrounds.  They had nice 
facilities as of 12  years ago when I last lived there.
they still do, it happens that I attend  the Maker Faire almost every 
year. They also have convenient nearby  parking facilities
Of course Dayton may have been chosen originally --or be  have become 
popular--  because is is 2/3 between the two Coasts  ?
