The Acadiana Amateur Radio Association will sponsor its 60th Acadiana
Hamfest 2020 at the Rayne Civic Center on March 13th & 14th, 2020.  The
Crawfish Boil will be held again on Friday, March 13th due to the
tremendous success of this event in previous years.  The pricing of
crawfish will vary with the demand and supply at hamfest date.  Our
crawfish boil tickets are $24.00 per 4 pound order.  If the crawfish
price is high, you may get under 4 pounds per order.  If the price is
low, you may get more than 4 pounds per order.

The hamfest will be held at the Rayne Civic Center located at 210 Frog
Festival Drive, Rayne LA 70578.  From I-10 take Exit 87 South.  Stay on
LA 35 South to the first traffic light.  Turn right onto Oak Street.  Go
to the second street and turn right onto Gossen Memorial Dr.  Follow the
street to the Rayne Civic Center on Frog Festival Drive.

The City of Rayne has one of the finest RV camp grounds right on our
hamfest site.  Over 700 RV spaces are available with hookups ranging
from 30 to 50 amps, water and sewage on most sites and a dump site on
location.  Special rates are available for our hamfest guests.  Come
early and enjoy the rag chewing and eye-ball contacts.

There are numerous places to eat, shop, and stay overnight just a few
blocks from the hamfest site in the City of Rayne and the Acadia Parish
area.  Whether you live nearby or not, come join us!  If you are
traveling to join us, there are plenty of sight seeing opportunities
available in the Acadiana area to make your trip even more worthwhile.
Attractions include Mouton Accordions & Music, Grand Opera House of the

things to do before and after the hamfest.
