Lee County ARES was honored to be invited to the 2023 Springfest supporting the Blue Volunteer Fire Department. The event was a lot of fun and well attended. A good number of interested people came to see our display of mobile portable radios and our display about weather-caused emergencies and how to overcome them. Our display attracted quite a few kids who learned to “say” their name in CW and got to keep the paper to prove it. Below are a few pics during setting up early in the day and the first few visitors.
