Field Day goes beyond the weekend the event is held.<\/p>\n

Preparation Stage:<\/p>\n

Field Day activities start weeks before the event is held. Several weeks before Field Day, volunteers tackle the tasks of inventorying, inspecting and testing the parts and equipment to be used during field day. Of course, we have to make sure there are also enough plates, cups, napkins, and other supplies to be used for meals during Field Day. It is a tedious task, but necessary to ensure a successful Field Day!.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n
