The next SEARS launch is scheduled for September 17, 2022! If you or anyone in your party or home are sick or have experienced COVID like symptoms in the last 5 days, please stay home this weekend and join us for the next launch instead! Our main goal is to keep everyone safe while enjoying a day of rockets!
Observers, beginners, youth, scouts, and families are all invited to attend. Bring the rockets, and the club will supply the launch equipment. Setup will begin at 8:30 am CST and the launch will kick off at 9:00 am CST and will wrap up at 5:00 pm CST. There is a range fee of $10 per carload of flyers. Be sure to bring a sack lunch, sunscreen, and water. Feel free to bring chairs and a tent/umbrella.
