Hi The chicken is better than the ham fest. Went there a few years ago and just got there in time to discover that the chicken was gone. Even the xyl wanted to go for their chicken. Unfortunately, its not in my schedule. I guess there is one here in Buffalo mid august. If I don't find a home for my ts570 I may take it with me.

You could go to the Batavia hamfest this Saturday and at least get a decent barbecued chicken dinner! Don't know if there will be anything decent in the flea market, but the chicken is always a treat! 73, de Lou K2LKK At 05:38 PM 7/25/2006 -0400, you wrote: >Hi; >Can't resist after a day at work.
