The Northland Antique Radio Club invites you to come to RADIO DAZE 2000 at the Comfort Inn of Plymouth - in Plymouth, Minnesota !
Since 1986, radio collectors from across the country have attended Radio Daze to buy, sell, and swap radios, to participate in the Radio Contest, to find some bargains at the radio auction, to try their luck at winning a completely restored vintage radio, and to attend the outstanding programming that RADIO DAZE is known for. Highlights of RADIO DAZE 2000 will include:
Enjoy coffee, pop, and snacks in the Hospitality Room. This is a good place to socialize and also to view some very entertaining radio-related videotapes (shown continuously). Again this year, the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting, along with the Antique Wireless Association (AWA) are co-sponsors of this meet. The Pavek Museum is located just a few miles from the meet, in nearby St. Louis Park. The museum contains a wonderful collection related to radios and radio broadcasting. Museum admission for RADIO DAZE participants is free May 19th and 20th. Don't miss RADIO DAZE 2000 ! |
