Several traveled for many hours to be present.  Thanks!

Talk about food; what a spread!  BBQ sandwiches, spaghetti, cole slaw,
potato salad, baked beans, chips and dips, apple slices, cookies,
assorted beverages, and so on.  Like many others, I had multiple helpings
of nearly everything!  (Evidence = waistline)

While it was not perfect pool weather, many did not let that stop them. 
There was plenty of splashing and laughing throughout the afternoon and
evening.

Many very interesting Contesting and DXpedition videos were available and
playing continuously on the big screen.

A computer was available with several contest and pile-up simulation
programs for those wanting to test and develop their CW knowledge and
skills.

A tour of the impressive radio station and antenna farm owned and
operated by NN4T was definitely one of the highlights of the day.

And, of course, many intriguing  stories about our fascinating hobby were
exchanged.

The hospitality of Steve and his family was FB!

For those of you who missed this.  Sorry.  You missed a fabulous 
Family Fun Day!  Steve says this may become an annual event.  Let's 
hope it does.  I plan to be back!
