Great News!!
Belleville Wholesale Hobby (https://bellevillehobby.com) has agreed to sponsor our Commemoration Event. A big thank you to Ron Becherer.
We now have Estes SLS Ready-to-Fly rockets that will be presented to the Junior and Senior Class champions of our Precision Duration Splashdown Spot Landing Competition. (Yes...I changed it to a Splashdown Spot Landing Competition so it fits both Liberty Bell 7 and Apollo 15).
Belleville Wholesale Hobby also provided us with a 1:100 scale Estes Saturn V/Skylab that we will raffle off to NAR and Tripoli members who participate in our event.. Those who volunteer will receive 3 tickets and those who just participate in the Sport Launch or spectate will receive one ticket. Please volunteer to help with this event. Your President would greatly appreciate it.
I've updated the attached event informational PDF with this information.
Note: Since this is a Precision Duration Splashdown Spot Landing Competition, we will not need the moon. If we find it, then we could put it out as a cool display.
We are also hoping to give away Estes Alphas (about 6 of them) to kids who attend our event?
Happy Rocketeering!!
President Dave
