Please join us at Sunset Meadows at 2 pm on Saturday, June 13th (rain date: June 27th) for a free family rocket launch to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States.

Families are invited to bring their own rockets (preassembled or easy-to-assemble rockets are readily available at Hobby Lobby), or to press the “launch” button on a rocket we’ll provide.  We’ll provide snacks and a “meet the candidate” opportunity with Elizabeth as well as Dave Mathis, State Senate candidate.

RSVPs strongly encouraged to ensure we have an appropriate headcount for supplies, set-up, snacks, etc.  Please also check if you’re able to volunteer at the event, or if you have rockets or rocket supplies to share.

Please invite others to this event — friends, family, neighbors, church group members, etc.

And yes, though this is not a fundraiser per se, it costs money to host the event, from park permit fees to rockets and rocket engines, and any contributions to defray costs are most appreciated.  See this link for donation information.
