Steve, K2SO (sk) has been the driving force for this event for the past decade or so, and since COVID-19 and his passing in 2020, the last time this event took place was 2019.

May 22, 2022 (in 2 weeks) is the first time this parade is coming back since the COVID-19 pandemic. The Parade organizers have reached out to Zev Darack, N2WKS and as such, Zev has reached out to EventHams to ask for our assist to help staff this event. 

This Parade event needs 6 Hams to assist in the successful planning to provide the support that the Parade Organizers look forward to every year.

I know that this is short timing, but if we could step up and help them out, and make Steve, K2SO (sk) proud, I'm sure that the Parade Organizers would be very grateful.
