NARC Picnic! Sunday July 20, 2025 11:00 am - 3:00 pm Tony Schmidt Regional Park Arden Hills, Minnesota

We always have a good time getting together for a potluck picnic, socializing, and showing the others things from our collections, so we're doing it again!

This is a rain or shine event for the whole family, so bring your spouse, kids, or whoever else you think might enjoy picnicking with a bunch of radio collectors.

The picnic will be held at the same place as in the past few years. The shelter is ours starting at 11:00 a.m., and we'll probably start eating around noon. Please bring some food to share, plus whatever you want to drink (alcohol is not permitted in the park). There are electrical outlets if needed, two charcoal grills, and a water fountain. The club will provide paper plates, napkins, and plastic silverware.

This is a great opportunity to get to know some of the other members. After we're done eating, we'll do a show-and-tell, so if you have something you'd like to show the group, please bring it along! It doesn't even need to be radio related. It's always interesting to see what shows up and to see what our radio friends have that maybe we didn't know about.

Tony Schmidt Regional Park is located at 3500 Lake Johanna Boulevard in Arden Hills, Minnesota, right across the road from the Lake Johanna boat launch and just a short walk from the Lake Johanna swimming beach. An easy way to get there from I-694 is to go south on Snelling Avenue, then west on County Road E (Lake Johanna Blvd.), then right on the road directly across from the entrance to the boat launch. Our shelter is the first one you will see, directly ahead, and it has its own parking lot to the right of the road. It is a short walk up a tar path, past restrooms and a playground area.

NOTE: Park rules prohibit selling things, so please don't bring anything to sell.

See you there!
