The Jackson ARC invites you to this year’s ARRL Day in the Park this coming Saturday from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm at Old Trace Park.  The folks at Ridgeland Parks and Recreation graciously allowed us to use their Recreation Center adjacent to the main parking lot. This will be a fun time of fellowship and food (Dutch Treat from Food Truck).   At noon there will be a few comments by W5XX followed by multiple door prizes. In addition, Flea Market tables will be available, or you can tailgate in the parking lot.  For those interested, the Mississippi State Fair will be open for “after Day in the Park fun and games.”

Old Trace Park is located at 422 Post Road in Ridgeland. To get there follow the signs to the Bill Waller Craft Center on Rice Road and then continue on Rice Road a short distance until you get to a stop sign at the intersection with Post Road.  Take a right on Post Road and Old Trace Park will then be the second right.  The Rec Center will be on the right side of the large parking lot as you drive in.  For further information contact AK5J at cell 601-709-6740 or email ak5j@arrl.net.    Talk-In: 146.64 (77 Hz) linked to 146.76 (77 Hz)
