This year’s RARC Picnic will be held outdoors at the KOA Campgrounds (click for map). Thanks so much to Roger and Barb for inviting us out, it will be good to see everyone in person again!

This year due to COIVD restrictions please bring your own food, drink, and chair, there will be no formal potluck this year due to COVID.
We may have a short business meeting, there will be no presentation. Bring show and tell, tailgate swap items and your fox hunting equipment!

Weather looks to be good, this event will be held weather permitting. Announcements will be posted if something changes, also keep an ear on the 147.255 repeater!
