They are planting grass seed at the farm, please stay off the grass until we can show you where we can park and where we can’t. We can walk anyplace on the farm and that will not affect the grass, we just need to be careful about driving and parking.

The next SEARS launch is scheduled for May 7, 2022. We will be following social distancing guidelines and encourage each group of flyers to stick with together. While we should be able to maintain social distancing, we still ask that all attendees bring a mask. We will have some disposable masks if you forget, but it really helps the club if you can bring your own. We will have a hand sanitization station and we will be cleaning and sanitizing common surfaces throughout the day. If you or anyone in your party or home are sick or have experienced COVID like symptoms in the last 14 days, please stay home this weekend and join us for the next launch instead! Our main goal is to keep everyone me safe while enjoying a day of rockets!Observers, beginners, youth, scouts, and families are all invited to attend.
