Share with others your pictures and a personal review of how the LWRA's 2008 field day and picnic panned out for all to read! Remember, we have members up North, in he hospital, etc. who were not able to attend and would love to know what they missed out on in the summer months.

After asking for two months for additional pictures and personal reviews and receiveing none excpet from Rick, guess we'll never know how enjoyable it was...
