Spooktacular Night Launch Event Cancelled Due to Cool and Rainy Weather Forecast
Tomorrow's Spooktacular Night Launch Event has been cancelled due to the cool and rainy weather forecast that's predicted for tomorrow evening. The winds are also predicted to be out of the Northeast which means we would not have use of the pavilion. There's a possibility that we may schedule a night launch event in early December if weather conditions are favorable.
Happy Rocketeering everyone!!!!
