The summer Hamfest is set for June 6, 2020.  The location will be at the Roth Family Woodlot again.

  • We still need to do some clean up and painting of the building before winter.  We are currently planning on meeting after breakfast on October 5 to replace some face boards and put a fresh coat of paint on.
