The Forums and Presentations portion of Morristown HAM FEST is a new addition…
LARC is PROUD and EXCITED to explore this new adventure. Our panel of Presenters brings a wide variety of knowledge and first hand knowledge of their topics.
This is an added feature and will not cost any extra to our friends at HAMFEST, and we hope it adds more than just the normal Vending and Tailgating aspect. 
The LARC family looks forward to seeing you there!
