Sugar Maple Festival Parade

Subject: Sugar Maple Parade

Saturday 26 April, at 10:30 a.m. is the annual Sugar Maple parade. BARC members provide emergency communications and assist with parade line up.

The motor vehicles line up on Vemco Dr. and walking units on Little Sugarcreek. I start the vehicles down the hill at 10:15 a.m. to merge with walking units. Parade usually runs 45 minutes.

BARC members meet at the Bellbrook Community Church at 9:15 a.m. at Vemco and SR 725 for briefing and assignments.

We will be using the BARC BAR repeater at 442.6750 MHz (+5 MHz offset, 118.8 Hz tone). Please be sure to program this repeater into your radio before the parade day.

This is a great opportunity for those members to work with a directed net control operator. Anyone can attend with or without a HT, first time participants will be assigned to an experienced member. If available send me an email. dparker28@att.mail
