English Landing Centre, West Parking Lot, Parkville, MO, 4 October 2008: With over 200 people in attendance during this annual "October Skies" event; it was the largest since the Beagle opened. This year the Kansas City Association of Rocketry (KCAR) again provide the expertise and equipment to launch over 100 rockets. Gene Nowaczek of Raytown, MO, had his record-setting Piper 8 rocket on display for the crowds, and he handled all questions about its exceptional flight of 35 miles in altitude.
A local Boy Scout troop sold hot dogs and refreshments and a local Cub Scout troop did a competition and demonstration of string-guided rockets. The Parkville Police Department had their Identa Kid tent set up and created identification cards and pictures of the kids at the event. Prizes of special event tee shirts, rocket engines and rockets were given to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in two difference challenges in three heats. At the end of the challenge heats the KCAR guys launched some flying saucers.
