NARC Picnic!

Sunday July 19, 2026
11:00 am - 3:00 pm

Tony Schmidt Regional Park
Arden Hills, Minnesota

Please join us at the NARC summer picnic to socialize and maybe show the others something from your collection! We have the same picnic shelter reserved as usual so we don't need to worry about rain. Bring your spouse, kids, or whoever might enjoy picnicking with a bunch of radio collectors.

The shelter is ours starting at 11:00 a.m., and we'll probably start eating around noon. This is a potluck, so please bring food to share, plus whatever you want to drink. Electrical outlets, two charcoal grills, and a water fountain are provided. The club will supply 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!
