As the float passed by the reviewing stand the announcer, Anton Neff, said
"The Owen County Amateur Radio Association provides coordination communications for the
AppleButter Festival parade marshals and reviewing stand. They also provide safety communications
for bike-athons, walk-athons, marathons and other events.
As trained storm spotters they work with the Indianapolis National Weather
Service and Owen County Dispatch tracking severe weather and also provide damage reports to
the Monroe County American Red Cross.
For more information, check their website www.OwenCountyARA.org"
(Editor's Note: The photographer forgot to get pictures of two radio amateur
participants. Kate K9INU was on the reviewing stand to notify the announcer of the status of the
parade. Also John WD9BKA at the corner of Cooper and Main was left out. This website
sincerely apologises.)
