Lufkin Hamfest 2011 - Final Report
Submitted by Jerry Wilson – October 27, 2011


Lufkin Hamfest 2011 has come and gone and we had a great turnout, a lot of fun and a load of prizes. Hot coffee and donuts were in abundance for the early arrivers. By 8:30 a.m. breakfast and midmorning food was ready and over $870 in prizes were drawn for and one given away every 8 to 10 minutes. Our Grand Prize was an ICOM IC-2200H, 2-meter mobile transceiver, given away at 12-noon.

Thank you all for attending, we'll see you next year! 73's
