From W5XX:
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.
