Default Event at Bong This weekend July 28th

I don’t know about you guys but I sure have a hankering to burn some rocket fuel, and even a stronger need to hang out with fellow rocket folks. So since we have the Bong Reserved for this Saturday lets have a get together!

Wildman is online with steak sandwiches. We just need to bring stuff to go along with them (a dish to pass).

We can also help with this drought thing by bringing Water Rockets…

Wildman is holding a contest; bring your fleet and show it off, the winner shall be the person with the best display, and this individual will win stuff from Wildman Rocketry. This event will be judged by an impartial individual.

Also there will be other specials to behold...

This event will start at 10:00 am at Bong Recreational Area this Saturday July 28th and will run until we can't take it any more, a one day event.

My son has a baseball game at 9:00, but I might be able to make it out there when that's over. I have some water rockets I could bring, and a new CO2 system I've been waiting for a chance to try out. I could bring a cooler with potato salad.

Gary,
Are you coming out? Tim was there last weekend as well to feed the addictions of the TWA folks. The recent rains do help, the problem is the surrounding prairie might be too far gone to recover this year - making the risk the same as soon as the rains dry up. I wish the dog people were all smokers...

Not that I doubt Tim will deliver, I'm bringing some home-made Italian and spicy Hungarian (medium) sausages to share. Hopefully Tim will let me finish them on his grill.

Yes Iam coming to Bong on Sat. Tim needs some must have items for you guys to buy. Almost every year the grass drys up but the ground is not so dry. So I am hopeing if Bong gets rain the state lifts the burn ban by Sept. I just know the dog people made all this happen. Don't forget the CO fire this year may have bee started by people shooting there guns.
