2021 Annual Corn Roast

The 2021 Annual Corn Roast was held on Saturday August 28th, 2021 at Renze VE6DC and Annetta’s property off of Hwy 3 just 22 km east of Coaldale.

Everything began at 4:00 and was a wonderful success! There was much discussion and the sharing of stories and eyeball QSO’s along with much consumption of delicious food. We were excited to have our first in-person event since the beginning of the pandemic!

This included a tailgate sale which many attended and much beloved gear was exchanged.
