• 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 "Containers" for the best and most imaginative rocket that is made from a container of some sort, or represents a container or something related to containment.
  • 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 have an FAA waiver to 4000' MSL (~3250' AGL), H motor limit (320 nt-sec)

• In case of bad weather the rain date will be Saturday, July 8, 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 2023 shirt. Check back later for color, final artwork, price and other details.
