Welcome to the unofficial Shelby Hamfest information Center! We hope  to facilitate visitors to The Shelby Hamfest each Labor Day weekend in Dallas, North Carolina and other Gaston County events. We believe that communication is an essential part of any thriving community.  We collaborate with local businesses,organizations, and individuals in an effort to facilitate mutual support, recognition, and the exchanging of ideas. We work to encourage a thriving community of service, civic, and emergency organizations. We promote local businesses,attractions,performances, events,and exhibits in an effort to help visitors to the Gaston County area. The unofficial Shelby Hamfest and Gaston County Information  Center does not represent the ideas of anyone other than the creator of this site. Any official information about the Shelby hamfest should be obtained from the Shelby Amateur Radio club at http://www.shelbyhamfest.org
