[FCARC] Special Event: Delta Chicken Festival

[Craig Szczublewski]

The club has has been invited back to the Delta Chicken Festival this year.  A 
major change is that we will be setting up our club table and radio rigs with 
the Delta Police and Fire & Rescue.  This is a huge deal since we are being 
presented to the public as part of the county's emergency responders.  Another 
honor is that we will be right next to a piece of the world trade center.  We 
will be assisting with the parade on Sunday from 2:00pm to 4:00pm as well.  The 
Delta Police were very impressed with how well we assisted in managing traffic 
and would like our help again this year.  The Chicken Festival runs July 8th-10th.

We are looking for assistance in manning the club table, as well as help with 
parade traffic on Sunday.  The parade is about two hours, starting at 2:00pm.  
If you can assist with setting up barricades at designated intersections, please 
plan on being there around 1:00pm for assignments.  Remember to bring sunscreen 
and a hat (that afternoon sun can be brutal), water/beverages and an HT if you 
have one (if not, we have a few spare 2m HTs).  With regards to the club table, 
we will have the club HF rig setup, as well as a VHF rig, so you can make some 
QSOs if you care to.  There is no formal sign-up schedule, but if you have a 
time slot you would like to man the table (perhaps 1-2 hour blocks), let me 
know.  I imagine the table can be closed down early evening on Friday and 
Saturday, and open around 10:00am or 11:00am on Saturday/Sunday (I'll try to 
nail down real time lines this weekend).   If you are interested in helping out, 
please contact me at kd8kbu at arrl.net <mailto:kd8kbu at arrl.net>.
