The next SEARS launch is scheduled for February 6, 2021! We will be following social distancing guidelines and encourage each group of flyers to stick with together. While we should be able to maintain social distancing, we still ask that all attendees bring a mask. We will have some disposable masks if you forget, but it really helps the club if you can bring your own. We will have a hand sanitization station and we will be cleaning and sanitizing common surfaces throughout the day. If you or anyone in your party or home are sick or have experienced COVID like symptoms in the last 14 days, please stay home this weekend and join us for the next launch instead! Our main goal is to keep everyone me 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. The day will wrap up at 4:00 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.
