Hara Arena

This weekend, our thoughts are with the amazing men and women of Dayton Hamvention. Working with all of you over the years has been one of Hara's most important legacies - and one of our greatest blessings. Every good wish for success in your new home!

We have received so many requests for Hara memorabilia over the last couple of months! Hope the upcoming online auction through EVERYTHING BUT THE HOUSE gets as much of it as possible into the hands of those of you who would most love to have it. The auction begins Thanksgiving Day and runs through Wednesday, Nov. 30 at www.ebth.com. All items start at $1. An auction preview will be held on Sunday, Nov. 27 from 12-3 pm in Hara's East Hall.

HARA ODDS & ENDS SALE
There's been a lot of interest in Hara items since the closing announcement. There will be a full on-line auction of Hara Memorabilia through EVERYTHING BUT THE HOUSE in November (Dates TBA). But a "Hara Odds and Ends Sale" will be held tomorrow Friday, Oct 14 from 10 am to 4 pm and Saturday, Oct. 15 from 9 am to 12 noon. Stop by Hara's East Hall and shop an odd and eclectic assortment that includes glassware, seasonal decorations, candles, vases, tables, chairs, lockers, food service displays, office supplies, pretzel warmers, hot chocolate machines, sporting, refrigeration and catering equipment and much more.

We've been surprised by the number of you who have requested an opportunity to visit Hara one last time - to take a picture, sit in "your" seat or share a memory. The main arena will be open this Saturday, August 27 from 10 am to 3 pm. Thanks for the unforgettable moments, memories and magic you've generated here over the years. They'll be around long after the doors have closed.

To all those who have taken time to post or share their Hara memories with us, thank you. Your reaction to Hara's closing has been both humbling and heartbreaking. We knew what Hara meant to us, we just didn't realize what it meant to so many of you. It's been an incredible 60-year run. Thanks for the memories, Miami Valley. They will be Hara's lasting legacy.

Hara has hosted some epic concerts over years. 1983's sold-out Prince concert is easily in the top 5. The Time and Vanity 6 opened the show. For those who attended, any memories to share?
