Lake Erie Communications is having our annual seminar and safety day on Saturday, March 28, 2026 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. We will talk about the 2026 season, and this will be a safety day in conjunction with the Mid-Ohio Safety Team.

This is a good chance for those interested in Lake Erie Communications and becoming a part of our Flagging and Communications team to join us and learn more about us. So in other words.....Bring A Friend!!!!!  A Flagging and Communications 101 will be given to any newcomers in place of one of the breakout sessions.
