August's competition is bring and fly any rocket you've painted as long as the paint scheme doesn't match the one on it's box/card. This fun fly open to all members.

The Judge (s) will award prizes in two divisions: Adult ( 18 and over) and Kids (Under 18). So, please come out and show us your creativity. Who Knows? You may even win a prize for all your effort.

October - CMMF XIV

CMMF XIV- October 18th and 19th
TBD

*NRC event; with the weather issues we had this past spring we thought it best to just go ahead and include 5 the NRC events now just in case we have similar issues next spring. At this time, it is very likely that NARAM will be held again in Muncie Indiana, which could also require that the event is also held early again (late June).
