16: There were quite a few buyers looking for bargins.
17: AMSAT had a booth as usual at Splitrock.
18: The refreshment stand was doing a very good business.
19: The only outside vendor was not a "tailgater" in the usual sense. It apppears that the heavy snow the day before the fester curtailed the outside activitiy.
