The Great Annual Rocket Launch of 2022

The 33nd Annual Launch-and-Lunch

10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday, July 2, 2021
Dodds Park
north and west of the intersection of Bradley and Mattis, in Champaign, IL

• GARLO is a purely-for-fun rocket launch. NAR Safety Code approved rockets only. We will be awarding ribbons and prizes for the winners of several fun (for fun) events
  • Our theme this year is "30" to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the founding of CIA and the first "public" GARLO in 1992. This is a design-your-own-challenge event, where something about your rocket or flight should relate to that number. Use your imagination, and we'll judge the entries on their creativity, craftsmanship, and audience-pleasing performance.
  • The secondary contest will be 30+ years old rockets.
  • Best of Show (Static). The best looking rocket flown during the day.
  • Best of Show (Flying). The most impressive and spectacular flight of the day will also be given the Gary Buck Memorial Flight Award.
  • The Best Odd-Roc. The most unusual rocket of the day will also be awarded the Rick Kramer Memorial Flight Award.
  • Spot Landing (controlled and uncontrolled)

• We plan to go to Monical's for dinner after the launch. Typically we would hold a cookout at a member's home, but we have had to cancel that this year. We hope to hold the cookout at a later time during the summer.

• We have an FAA waiver to 4000' MSL (~3250' AGL), H motor limit (320 nt-sec)

• While supplies last we’ll be giving away some free rockets for kids (6-12 years old) to fly at the launch.

• In case of bad weather the rain date will be Saturday, July 9, at the same time and place.

• Until the COVID pandemic has cleared we will be following Special Rules to allow us to fly and still keep everyone safe.

• As usual we will be issuing a GARLO 2022 shirt.

  The price this year will be $20.00. The color will be a Stonewashed Green. Here is the image that will be on the shirt.

  

  As always these will be a limited edition collectors item. We will be ordering a few additional adult size shirts and will have them for sale at the launch.
