05/22/2021 | Chicken Dinner Road
May 22-May 23, 1600Z-1800Z, K7SWI, Nampa, ID. South West Idaho Amateur Radio Club. 146.52 14.250 7.250 3.850. Certificate & QSL. South West Idaho ARC K7SWI, 323 W. Dewey Ave., Nampa, Id 83686-6638. The South West Idaho Amateur Radio Club will be commemorating the original Chicken Dinner that took place on Chicken Dinner Road about 100 years ago. There are different versions of the story available but the most popular is that a local named Laura Lamb was famous in the area for her delicious fried chicken dinners complete with rolls and fresh apple pie. She and her husband knew then Idaho State Governor Ben Ross, who told Lamb that if she could get the road graded and graveled, he would see to it that it was oiled. Governor Ross was good on his word and the local kids started chanting Chicken Dinner every time the school bus turned down the road. An anonymous person painted the words “Lamb’s Chicken Dinner Avenue” on the road and these supposedly are the reasons about how the road got its name. The road became even more famous recently as PETA tried to force the State to change the name of the road. The state of Idaho said no way! The SWIARC will be active on 2,14,7,3.5 and other bands as practical, no specific frequencies are determined, on May 22, 2021 from 1600 hours until May 23, 2021 at 1800 hours longer if there is significant interest in the Special Event. Certificate, SASE and 1.00 – QSL, SASE and your QSL. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to visit the SWIARC at the special event. We hope to hear you on the air!
