The Great Lakes Cup Rocketry Contest and Expo will be a fun event for the
whole family. We are still in the planning stages but have the dates and
location confirmed. We'll have a registration page for competitors up shortly.
Our contest activities start Saturday morning and continue through Sunday
afternoon. Enjoy watching world-class spacemodelers launch their rockets high
into the sky during the contest which runs on Saturday and Sunday. Numerous
contest events are being held including parachute and streamer duration contests
where the flyer keeps the rocket aloft for the longest period of time. Enjoy
watching boost gliders and radio controlled rocket gliders that take off under
rocket power then soar around the sky.
Online registration for competitors will be available soon. Meanwhile, you can make
your hotel reservations at the AmericInn, our host hotel, by

group code, if needed, is ROCKET2012. The AmericInn is located about 10 minutes
from the flying field and is very conveniently located in a shopping district
with lots of restaurants.
Competitors can download
Bulletin 1 of the event for planning purposes. We will publish additional
bulletins as more details become available.
