Plus miscellaneous hourly prizes*

*Hamfest location ( same as 2019) :*

  Melbourne Auditorium
  625 E. Hibiscus Blvd.
  Melbourne, FL. 32901

  _*Tables are still available*_, so if you are thinking about reserving
  a table at Hamfest, it's NOT too late but you need to act quickly.
  Tables are only $25 for two days. Reserving now will aid in reducing
  wait times the day of the event.

  The website has the *New Table Layout for 2020*which gives attendees
  more space to move around and distance themselves. Click on the link
  to see the layout: New Table Layout for 2020

  Click on the link for the Vendor Reservation Form for Tables and
  Tickets here: Vendor Reservation Form

  We also have the *Tailgate area* outside which you do not need to sign
  up for, just come and sell. Tailgate spots are $15.00 for the two
  days. Tailgating is on a first-come first-served basis and applies
  Friday - _if you have an assigned spot Friday, you should park in the
  same spot on Saturday._ Pre-payment and reservations are not available.

  For those that show up Saturday morning for the first time - do not
  park in a tailgating space before being assigned a spot. Our tailgate
  team will be available starting 7 am on the auditorium property.

  The auditorium management insists you do not show up earlier than 7 am
  on auditorium property.

  We have a Consignment Area in the East Room where you can bring items
  and the club will sell the items for you , so you don’t need to sit at
  a table inside or outside. The club has a large area to display your
  equipment. Please print and fill out the agreement form which can be
  found here: Consignment Table Form
  <https://pcars.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b8eba533061697c8079d6a435&id=2b5550600e&e=b8cdb9618e>

  We are updating the website as we get closer to the date of the event.
  Information on forums, prizes and testing will be placed there as soon
  as possible. Tickets are $10.00. _Currently advance ticket sales are
  only available to those making table reservations._

  *License testing*: if you wish to take an amateur exam they are being
  offered Saturday morning but *NOT at the auditorium*. *You MUST
  pre-register* by emailing vetesting at cfl.rr.com
  <mailto:vetesting at cfl.rr.com?subject=Registration%20for%20Amateur%20Exam%20at%20Hamfest>
  for further information.

  ***Procedural Changes due to Covid-19:*
  1) Face coverings MUST be worn to obtain entrance to the event.
  2) The side doors to the auditorium will only be open during vendor
  setup and tear-down times. This is necessary to track the headcount
  inside the building. All other times the front doors must be used.
