Like to hear comments from all you folks, but its nice when you can see the Convention from your back yard, Living here in Xenia is a dream come true!!!
I have gone very consistantly since 1976 when there only was the Hara arena itself no out buildings, and across the street were corn fields and no street. Every one parked down at the Mall and took the bus due to very little available parking.
Is the old Hara arena a thing of the past? If so, when did it go away from the hamfest?

I'm actually applying for an income-dependent apartment in Xenia. The John Sale Manor (a 9 story complex). That will make volunteering at the Hamvention so much more convenient!Like to hear comments from all you folks, but its nice when you can see the Convention from your back yard, Living here in Xenia is a dream come true!!!

Income-dependent means that monthly rent is determined by your annual gross income. My SS is so low that a 1 bedroom apartment would be around $300/month, utilities included. There are some antennas already on the roof, but I have no idea if anyone would be allowed to put their own up...Is retired considered low income? Can I get some good apartment living in Dayton cheap? Of course I would want a top floor with access to the roof.

This specific property is for 55 and older only. According to what the manager told me, there is a four to six month waiting period before an apartment will become available.
There are however many other such income-dependent properties available in the surrounding area.
Thanks, I knew it was not that long ago since I'd been there!
I don't think it's been at Hara for at least the past year.
But, that Tornado finally put that place out of its misery. Hara was a dump when I attended a few years ago. I'm surprised any of it is still standing after that storm.
It's been four years since DARA had the Hamvention at Hara. Three years so far at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia and each year has gotten better. Next year will see at least one new building available, possibly two new buildings.I don't think it's been at Hara for at least the past year.
You are correct. A court-appointed receiver sold the property to a Cincinnati company almost exactly one year ago for $27,000.The Wampler family haven't had any pecuniary interest in the Arena since it was sold for back taxes about a year ago to a speculator.
