Please join us on Sunday June 2nd at 11:00am at Elm Creek Park Reserve in Maple Grove at the Bluebird Picnic Area for a day of fun. This event is always popular; most will say it is the most fun Tripoli MN event, besides launching of course! This is a family-friendly event. Everyone is welcome, member or not. Feel free to bring family, friends, neighbors, etc., especially if they may be interested in our hobby. This is a perfect opportunity to see what we are all about.
Rocket Show-N-Tell is certainly welcome. If you’d like to show off your build bring it with you.
We will be conducting a sale, auction, or raffle of rocket items at this event.
There will be a potluck for lunch. We ask that everyone bring something to share (e.g., appetizer, salad, side dish, main course, dessert, …). You can still attend if you don’t want to eat. Also, please note that we’d like to get a group photo at the picnic before lunch, so feel free to bring a rocket with which to pose.

Event Details
(Black Rock Desert, Nevada)
BALLS is THE premier Experimental Rocket Launch in the Continental US. The event spans 32 years however this year will be the 30th time it is held in the Black Rock Desert, North of Reno, near Gerlach, Nevada. There was no event in 2001 because of 9/11 and no event in 2020 because of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
BALLS brings together dedicated rocketry enthusiasts devoted to the leading edge of non-professional rocketry activities for the best demonstration of experimental design, using today’s best technologies, and probably the largest non-professional rockets seen anywhere.
BALLS is a venue for projects that should NOT be flown at other events or locations due to safety considerations. This may include, but is not limited to, LARGE rockets, complex staging or clustering, metal rockets, self-designed and/or fabricated rocket motors and new technologies being developed or proven. Black Rock Dry Lake has always been the site of large rocket launches. Its wide-open vastness is unparalleled for its high altitude recovery record. Through the years BALLS has grown into non-professional rocketry’s show place of the best there is. The quality, craftsmanship, sheer size, power and technological edge cannot be compared to any other launch anywhere. One of the best aspects of BALLS is the exchange of new thoughts and methods that are presented openly to anyone who asks. This launch will be primarily for Research Motors and/or Dangerous projects. Only Tripoli, and NAR Members with reason, will be permitted to be present out on Pad Areas and Away Cells. This will be strictly enforced.
