Dayton Hamvention ADA/Handicapped Parking Procedure
Hamvention as many of you know does not have any public parking
immediately at HARA Arena: however, it has been our desire and policy
for many, many years to help accommodate those individuals with special
needs. We are very sensitive to those needs and have gone well beyond
all regulations to secure (at extra cost to Hamvention) a limited
number of spaces for these needs. Unfortunately the demand for ADA/Handicapped
parking continues to grow dramatically each year and we simply are
unable to accommodate everyone who requests a space. Therefore, as
in past years we require you send in a copy of your State Issued ADA
Parking Certificate, along with a SASE and we will process your requests
in the order of which they are received. Please Remember: There are
a very limited number of "Reserved" ADA/Handicapped parking spaces
available so get your requests in early. Also, we have set aside (20)
"Reserved" ADA Parking spaces for those individuals who are unaware
of/or choose not to follow our instructions and register early. Please
understand if you choose to wait and just come to the show the probability
that you will find no ADA/Handicapped spaces available is extremely
high.
Again, we STRONGLY urge you to send in your request early and
in advance of the show. The parking fees remain the same as last
year: $8.00/day per car and $25.00/day for campers and etc. payable
at the gate. (Please note: overnight campers and etc. are not permitted
at Hara Arena)

We still have a limited number of ADA Parking permits for 2008.
