The current weather forecast (as of Wednesday, April 10) for the launch field shows clouds on Saturday and a chance of rain on Sunday, but that won’t stop our launch! We will be set up on both Saturday April 13 and Sunday April 14. The waiver is in place for 09:00 CST to 13:00 CST on Saturday and from 10:00 CST to 13:00 CST.
Other than just being a two day launch this month, we are also offering lunch on Saturday, and on Sunday weather permitting. You can purchase a lunch combo of either hamburger or hotdog, with chips and a drink at the launch. Proceeds will go towards launch equipment improvement.
We hope to see a large crowd this weekend!
