Fayette Tailgate Hamfest, April 2022

This may be the most unusual hamfest we've ever attended.   Super nice folks (not that unusual), everything was outside (not that unusual), and everything was free (highly unusual).

By "everything", I mean tables were free.  Lunch was free.  Admission was free. Homemade deserts were free.

This takes place at a very nice public park, at a pavilion at the end of a dead-end road.  Clean restrooms are nearby.   The tables lined the gravel road, and maybe a dozen flea market tables of one sort or another popped up around 8 AM.  Most folks literally operated from their tailgates.  Lunch ( fabulous pulled pork, slaw, and all the traditional fixings) was served at noon, and the homemade desserts  alone made the trip worthwhile.

The hamfest shut down around 1:30 or 2:00, and we all headed home.

This is a brief but fun hamfest, and well worth the trip for us.    We look forward to returning next year.
