"X" marks the spot! Greene County officials announced today that Hamvention[1]?
will be moving to the Green County Fairgrounds in Xenia, Ohio, after 52 years
at Hara Arena, news outlets report. That's about 16 miles east of Dayton center
on US Route 35.
Hara Arena announced last week that it would be closing, and Hamvention
indicated that it soon would be announcing its back-up plan for a new venue in
the Dayton area.
"We have spent many hours over the last few years evaluating possible locations
and have found one in the area we believe will be a great new home!" Hamvention
said on July 29. "We all believe this new venue will be a spectacular place to
hold our beloved event," Cramer said. "Please rest assured we will have the
event on the same weekend and, since it will be in the region, the current
accommodations and outside events already planned for Hamvention 2017 should
not be affected."
