Tailgate Hamfest – September 12, 2026

Save The Date!

Mark your ham calendar for the Mid-State Amateur Radio Club’s Tailgate Hamfest on Saturday, September 12, 2026. This will be an outdoor event at the Atterbury State Fish and Wildlife Area’s DNR Office parking lot, directly across the road from the DNR Headquarters.

Sellers can set up from the back of their car or truck or bring a table to display their gear. There will be no charge for MARC Members, but we do ask a $5.00 donation for non-members to set up a display to help offset expenses. Rest Rooms are located directly across the road at the DNR office building.
