Field Day 2006 was held on June 24-25th and the event was a BIG success. We held the event at Castle Rock State Park! (See below for a topo map of the area.) Thank you to everyone who helped to plan and make the 2006 Field Day a success and to all who joined us! We hope that more of you will be able to join us next year.
In the meanwhile, here are some photos of the fun we had! |
