The FRVA and RVRN groups usually park in the area North of the Pavilion. This is located in the NW corner of the fairgrounds on the farthest road at the back of the parking area. The FRVA Amateur Radio Chapter will have a banner on the fence at the entrance to the area to help locate us. There are several 30-amp and 50-amp hookups with water. They are all first come first serve, so come early if you want a spot. Click for Map of FRVA-ARC Parking Location
