Also: Drawing for rocket kits is expanding. We have enough prizes to do one draw every hour on the hour starting Friday at noon till 6:00 and Saturday 9:00am till 6:00pm and a few extras that always show up. 4-H will not allow us to call it a Raffle so thus Drawing. Privatly we call it a DRaffle.

...except for the extreme wind shift on my spot landing attempt ,lol.

Mine too! I think it went from 5 to 15 while mine was in the air.

It was a great weekend though. Thanks John, and the rest of the club, for putting on another outstanding event.
