NO-GO for the 25 Anniversary Launch is weekend and change of Rain Date.

We want this to be a fun and enjoyable launch for those who can make it. This weekend is to be low 60s, with 60% chance of rain, and gusty winds at times. So we are making the call early to postpone the event in the hopes of better weather.

The original rain date on the Advertisement Flyer as June 8th does not work due to scheduling. We are postponing the 25th Anniversary Launch to July 13, 2024.

[ Note our next "regular" launch will be May 25th, if we can get a break, and get a good weekend. ]

Glad we postponed this earlier, based on expected conditions.

I'm at a youth baseball game...Right now it's 49°F, winds are blowing, and image shows the current radar. It's going to get even worse...

It's coming down steadily right now. Would've sucked to set up a launch and have to pack it all up in the rain.

May 25 is our next launch
