NO GO for Oktoberfest.  NCR’s Oktoberfest has been “officially” cancelled.    This decision should come as no surprise.  Common sense should strongly support cancellation as the prudent and responsible action to take.   As stewards of our “permitted” parcel of prairie, given the “tinder dry” circumstances, the decision has been made to cancel NCR’s Oktoberfest for 2016.  Better safe than sorry.

The opportunity to fly rockets remains. There are still launch events planned to occur in October.   SCORE will be hosting an opportunity to fly at the Hudson Ranch on Saturday, October 15th.  CRASH launches are held on the first Sunday at Noon and the third Saturday of every month at 10:00 AM at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood. 

Tripoli Colorado’s last launch of the season in Hartsel is scheduled for Sunday, October 16th, dependent upon weather and Fire Bans.    Or take a road trip to Jean, NV.  to fly with Tripoli Las Vegas Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 14th-16th. http://www.tripolivegas.com/
