Les Silva KH6CUJ, Jim Tetlow K3UGA, Bill Hackett, N3XMZ, Dave Hardy KB3RAN, and Jack Estevez KB3WUM of the Calvert Amateur Radio Association are all dressed up in their ARES vests for duty as the communications team for the Chesapeake Ranch Estates 5K Family Fun Run/Walk for the Orphaned Wildlife Rescue Center in Lusby.  51 runners/walkers turned out on this beautiful morning.  The net consisted of Net Control, Race Director, Water Stop 1, Water Stop 2 and Start/Finish.  CRE volunteers were assisted by OWRC staff and volunteers, CRE Security Patrol and Calvert County Sheriff's Deputies in handling registration, snacks, traffic control and parking.  The CRE AirPark crew parked cars and planes.  Several takeoffs and landings occurred while participants were waiting for the awards ceremony.  Ribbons were awarded for several age categories for men's and women's divisions.  Early arrivals were treated to a bagpiper playing patriotic music.  A tour of the OWRC facility was offered after the race.  They have over 75 rehabs at this time including a Bald Eagle nearly ready for release to the wild.
