Winter Field Day 2023
Another outstanding Winter Field Day is in the books. The weather was decent and the food was delicious! Thanks to KC3MVS and his XYL for planning and preparing the food. Also, a special thanks to the American Legion Post #300, who allowed us to set up on their site.
Hope to see you at the next Field Day, which is June 24th, 2023.
