Nov. 4, 2023 was the annual Papa Jack's Trade Day in Tupelo, MS. In contrast to previous years, the weather was dry, and the crowd was maybe a bit larger than in recent years. The event began being populated around 7:00 in the morning, officially opened at 8:00, and wrapped up around noon. As usual, the host club provided tables, doughnuts, and coffee. This year one of their members also brought a wonderful, steaming hot bean soup, and passed out bowls of that, which was a treat on a chilly day.

On Nov. 5, 2022, the Tupelo ARC hosted their annual Papa Jack's Trade Day. It was held downtown under the pavilion at the Farmer's Depot from 8 AM until 12 Noon. No fee for attending, and no fee for tables makes this a highly cost-effective hamfest. Basically, since they also provide doughnuts and coffee, all you're out for the trip is a little gas money. Saturday was a little chilly and windy, and there was a steady rain all morning. But, thanks to the great pavilion, the event was dry and (if you remembered to bring a jacket) very comfy....
