LibertyFest has been named one of the Top 10 July 4th Festivals in the United States by CNN and USA Today—and it happens every summer right here in Edmond, Oklahoma.
The Edmond Amateur Radio Society (EARS) plays a key role in supporting LibertyFest each year. We provide communications for several major events, helping ensure everything runs smoothly and safely. To make that happen, we rely on a dedicated team of volunteers—both licensed amateur radio operators and those who are not yet licensed.
In short — we need you!
