SANDARC’S SAN DIEGO COUNTY FAIR BOOTH REPORT

The 2012 San Diego County Fair (Del Mar) ran from June 18, 2012 through, July 4, 2012. The fair was closed on Mondays, EXCEPT July 2nd.

SANDARC looked for volunteers to cover 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. shifts at our new booth location in the In Field. ALL Booth volunteers could view the SANDARC website calendar to see what shifts were still open. Only about 25 percent of the total shifts were covered for 2010 & 2011, unlike the past where most all shifts were covered.

The SANDARC Booth is each club’s opportunity to share Amateur Radio with all age levels in the San Diego Community. Each club is encouraged to wear their club shirts, hats and jackets, to bring exhibits, to do demonstrations, and talk about their specific club and the activities, education, and events that their club offers. Each club has the opportunity to highlight their specialty area such as DX, Field Day Expertise, Emergency Service aspects, etc., as well as to Promote Amateur Radio in General.

The SANDARC Fair Booth provides Amateur Radio Operators with an opportunity to share Amateur Radio and what we do with the public with the goals of introducing people to Amateur Radio, showing them how it can be used in emergency situations, and sparking an interest in one of the many areas of Amateur Radio. Please join us at the Fair and volunteer your time to share Amateur Radio with our Community.

Where is the BOOTH?

  
  The question is still going around, “Does SANDARC have a Booth at the San Diego Fair “Del Mar Fair”? If so where is it? The answer is YES! About four years back, we moved to the Pavilion in the Infield, put up an antenna, used Sam’s Desk, and WOW we are here. See the Photos below. SANDARC has most all of the Clubs Tri-Folds, and although some are outdated, they work. I worked Day two of the Fair and had over 28 people ASK ABOUT HAM RADIO! We kept a log and there is a note pad available at the booth for each shift each day to log their contacts as well. The simple question "would you mind signing your name and call or just name if not licensed" is all that is needed for folks to help us document our visitors to this booth.
