The booth all set to go. SPARC banner in the back. Ham radio magazines on the table in front, most of which are gone already. |
Duane, K4UW, also joined us but somehow we did not get his picture. |
John, W3XWT, stayed all day. |
We make six contacts on the radio. We could hear a lot of stations, but could not get through the pile-ups. |

We had plenty of visitors. | ||

Then stamping their scavenger hunt paper. Floris Methodist Church ran a scavenger hunt. Find the the little toy cars and get your paper stamped. Collect many stamps and get a prize. Joe is pointing to the right at another car in the next booth. It is setting on the purple pencil box. |
All the magazines are gone except one. The yellow stamp and the small car for the scavenger hunt. |
Near the end of
the event. |

The time from 0900 when we showed up until
1700 when we left went by very quickly. |

And then it was over. |
Once
again this year, it was worthwhile to host the station. |
