The crowd wasn't huge, but I had a great time! KD8OSJ, and his crew went to great lengths to ensure that everyone had a good time.
They even had free coffee! I challenge you to find that at any hamfest today.
Conneaut is the home of Astatic; the folks responsible for the D-104 mic, as well as pickups for phonographs, as well as for sonar receivers in WW2.
You can find out more about the Conneaut ARA at http://qsl.net/w8bhz/.
There's a couple Astatic historical sites on the web, but I liked this one: http://www.astatic.org/
