Waterways Heritage Festival
October 14 - 15, 2017
The club had a great time at this year's festival and met a lot of great Mars Generation kids along with their parents and grandparents. The festival provided us the opportunity to present Amateur Radio as a vital communications resource during emergencies and special events. We showed how Amateur Radio is a fun hobby and a great technical tool to learn and possibly pursue a great career in electronics and wireless communications.

The club held a drawing at the festival for a copy of Craig Buck’s, K4IA “The Easy Way!” series book “Pass Your Amateur Radio Technician Class Test”.
