One of the highlights of the event was the hunt for Heidi, the hidden fox! It took Kim/KF6ZSW less then ten minutes to locate the little fox in a golf bag leaning against a tree. It all happened so quickly, it was decided to do a continuation round so the other contestants would be able to try again.

On the second go-around, John/KG6AWB finally found the fox den, right where it should be -- in a hole in the ground next to a tree, and covered with leaves, grass and an old dead limb.

Other winners: Sherie/KI6IPB won the croquet match; Charlene Vaughn took the ladies' prize for hitting the golf ball closest to the pin and her son, James Vaughn took the men's prize in the same event.

Thanks to eveyone who contributed their culinary expertise to the potluck; all the food was great.

We want to especially thank Burt/WA6PTG for showing off his cooking skills in preparing sumptuous hamburgers and hotdogs.

Thanks to Taylor/W2LDS who donated prizes, and paper products and arranged for the excellent facilities at Hyde Park.

That sums up the 2007 ARACC Picnic! If you missed this one, plan on 2008's gathering.
