This year’s NEAF and NEAIC shows have been another outstanding success! RAC would like to thank and congratulate all of the organizers and volunteers that have been instrumental in producing this year’s shows. Both events were attended to maximum capacity. The list of outstanding speakers and presenters, the multitude of fantastic vendors and the crew of the Solar Star Party all contributed to make this year’s shows second to none. And most importantly, thank you to everyone who attended! It is for all of you that we put so much effort into to making these shows the exceptional events that they are. 4/6/12 SUMMER STAR PARTY UPDATE The 2012 Summer Star Party WILL be held at Shady Pines Camp Grounds in Savoy Mass.
