[FCARC] Club Event: Delta Chicken Festival 2015

[Craig Szczublewski]

Once again, we will be setting up at the Delta Chicken Fest this coming weekend, 
July 10-12.  We will tentatively be located in the same tent along with EMS and 
the Delta Police.  Like last year, we will have the portable mast and tri-band 
antenna in place for running QSOs.  We encourage all club members to come out 
and visit or operate the club rig.  If you have time on Friday or Saturday to 
spend an hour or two at the booth, please reply back to me so we can pencil 
people in.  Different this year is a request from the organizers to handle 
working the announcement booth, we hope to have more info on this shortly.

The club schedule will be as follows:

Thursday:
- Setup the pneumatic mast after work, probably 6:30pm-7:00pm

Friday:
- 6:00pm - 9:00pm the booth will be on the air.  We will be in the same
   tent along with Police and E.M.S.
- 10:30pm Fireworks!  Delta F.O.E. always puts together a great
   fireworks display, stick around!

Saturday:
- 12:00pm - 9:00pm the booth will be back on the air.

Sunday:
- 12:00pm - 2:00pm the booth will be on the air.
- 1:00pm - report to booth for Parade route assignments
- 2:00pm - 3:00pm Grand Parade traffic control (operating 146.460 FM simplex)

On the topic of the parade:

As before, the Delta Police have requested assistance with traffic barricades 
during the Parade.  It usually starts around 2:00pm and runs an hour or so at 
the most.  Details will be coming soon, but plan on being at the Club table 
around 1:00pm for assignments.  If you have the time to assist with this, it 
would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail me back if you think you can help 
out at the club table or if you can assist with the Parade route.

73 for now...
