| Description: | The Deerfield (NH) Fairgrounds was the site of the legendary “Hosstraders Tailgate Swapfest” for fifteen years until the event was moved to Rochester NH in 1993 thence to Hopkinton NH in 2001. “Hosstraders” may just be a fond memory for many now but NEAR-Fest is continuing the “Grand Tradition” of Hosstraders and we're back at the magnificent Deerfield Fairgrounds. In addition to the hundreds of hams “tailgating” in the flea market there will be three huge buildings full of of commercial vendors and dealers offering everything from the latest in radio equipment, books, accessories and who knows what else? Take advantage of the strong Canadian Dollar and bring home some new goodies! |
