TEXAS CITY HAMFEST and HVRA 2022 MEGA AUCTION DOYLE CONVENTION CENTER TEXAS CITY JULY 9, 2022

The Texas City “HAMFEST” will be held in the Doyle Convention Center, 2010 5th Ave. North, Texas City. HAMs, DX’ers, collectors, tinkerers, and curious individuals will be on hand, swapping and selling throughout the center and parking lots. You will find just about anything electronic among the many tables, trunks, and tail gates. HVRA will have a table inside the air conditioned auditorium distributing newsletters and club brochures to all who stop for a visit. Plan to arrive around 7 AM or possibly earlier, to get a good place to park as the lot fills up fast. Food and drinks will be available inside. There is an admission charge of $5.00 to enter the Hamfest area.

The HVRA Summer Mega Auction will start at 12 Noon in the adjoining Exhibit Room. All Mega Auction attendees not paying $5.00 for the Hamfest must enter the Mega Auction room through the side hallway door, not through the Hamfest area. Set up of the Mega Auction will begin near 8AM; sellers may begin staging their items at 9AM. Please bring your items through the side hallway door, not through the Hamfest area. The Mega Auction will begin at 12 Noon. Selling and bidding at the Auction is free to all current HVRA members. Everyone anticipating selling or bidding must register and receive a bid card with a bidder (seller’s) number. All items presented for auction must be labeled with an HVRA seller’s form and contain the seller’s number, lot number and a brief description. No items (bought, sold or passed) can be picked up until the conclusion of the auction, approximately at 4PM, when the check–out process begins. At check–out, all sellers will pay HVRA a 15% commission on each successful sale. Payments can be made by cash, check or credit card. Now is the time to round up those items that may be languishing in your attic or garage, take some photos, list them, and forward them (NO JUNK, PLEASE) to Bill Werzner at werz1943@gmail.com or if you have any questions, please contact Bill at 713–820–1778).
