All,
We have a rocket launch happening in Pasco today through Sunday! The launch site is a little bit north of Country Mercantile.
Our family will have loaner rockets available, and we have an onsite vendor (where you can buy motors and rockets).
We offer both sport flying and competitions--the competition most interesting to new folks would be Parachute Spot Landing, where you try to land nearest a designated spot on the field using any rocket and any motor, but with a parachute as recovery (not a streamer).
Here is the information about the launch:

Bring lots of sunscreen/sunhats, camping chairs, water, and food. Port-a-potty should be onsite. Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking in dirt, weeds, and sod (probably not flip-flops).
If you have questions, you can call my cell at
509-378-5516.
Thanks,
Sherrill Fink
