SoAR will be participating in two different activities recognizing the 50th Anniversary of the landing of Apollo 11 on the Moon on Saturday, July 20.

First, a few SoAR members will be at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History to introduce those interested to Model Rocketry and to tell the story of the Mighty Saturn V and the Astronauts who went to the Moon. Everett Stowe will have his 1/25th Saturn V on display there, and there will be other Apollo themed models. The display will be from 10AM until 1PM.

At the same time, up in Dawsonville, we will have our Apollo 11 celebration launch from 10AM to 3PM. This will be the last Dawsonville launch until September. The weather situation looks a lot like last Saturday, with threats of thunder showers but calm winds and lots of sun. It just depends on if and when the rain comes and how long it will be.
