DESCRIPTION:CARC Parks On The Air Announcement from Charlene Cash\, WG3Q: \n📅 WHEN\nSaturday April 4\, 2025\n1000–1500 local time\nI’ll be arriving a little early to get set up\, and we’re welcome to hang around as long as we’d like\, or until the sun decides to call it a day. \n📍 WHERE\nPine Grove Furnace State Park — Brickyard Pavilion\n60 Quarry Rd\, Gardners PA 17324\nGPS: 40.03057\, -77.30231\nGoogle Maps: Brickyard Pavilion \n🍔 FOOD\nThe club is handling the main event: burgers\, sausages\, and hot dogs (for the picky eaters and the little ones).
