Rocket launch location change--now Pasco!

[Sherrill Fink]

Everyone,

In breaking news, the latest rainfall in Dayton has now made the launch site impassable.  Therefore, the brand-new Tri-Cities Rocketeers is going to host a launch north of Pasco this coming Saturday and Sunday.  The weather is supposed to be beautiful, so come fly with us!

Here is the information that TCR President, Derek McGuckin, recently published.  In addition, I can tell you that we will also have a rocket vendor onsite where you can purchase rockets and motors if you'd like.

Our family also has loaner rockets and motors available, and there will be a port-a-potty onsite.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact Derek or me.

Thanks,

Sherrill Fink
