NET Fair / Feria NET

Saturday, June 24, 2023

Join us for a day of learning, collaboration, and team building. NET Fair is the first annual all-day event in Portland dedicated to NETs learning and collaboration. It will include classes, networking opportunities, displays and demonstrations, a NET recognition luncheon, door prizes, and more! Meet and network with fellow NETs from your area and across the city.

NET Fair is a great opportunity to re-energize and connect with the program and other NETs. In addition, we will be taking orders for NET Teams for emergency preparation supplies donated to FPN, and we will have NET stickers, patches, hats & clothing items for sale.

The fair will be held at the Portland Fire & Rescue Training Center and will include a combination of indoor and outdoor activities. See below for an overview of the NET Fair day. Below that you will find a schedule showing the titles of the classes and exercises. Click one of the buttons below a title for a description of the class or exercise.
