We will be participating in the Flowood Family Fest on May 16 from 3pm until 9pm. We will set up our canopy and tables and give handouts and answer questions about Ham radio. If we have enough room we may do demonstrations with VHF/UHF with repeaters and possibly an HF station. We will need no more than two or three people at a time to man the canopy. There is no entrance fee but outside food and drink is prohibited. Here is the link. https://visitflowoodms.com/events/flowood-family-fest/
