 SUN, August 18: Recycled Rain Gutter Regatta & Rocket Launching

• Recycled Rain Gutter Regatta & Recycled Water Bottle Rocket Launching
• CV Park (near Dog Park)
• 4:00 - 6:00 PM
• BYO Family Picnic Dinner & Recycling Bin Items for Building Boats & Launching Water Bottle / Soda Bottle Rockets

Tips for Recycling Bin Construction Items:

 Water Rockets:  

• 20 oz empty soda bottles work best (Coke or Pepsi type bottle)
• Extra water jugs (small Igloo or gallon size) for "re-fueling" the water rockets always appreciated
• If feeling adventurous, rocket fins can be made from a cardboard box or posterboard and glued on to the bottle at home

 Rain Gutter Sail Boats: 

• Please bring materials to share for boat building, such as chip bags, juice boxes, Capri-Sun containers, plastic water bottles, duct tape -- make sure everything is empty & clean.
• Recycled small plastic water bottles & pool noodles work great for the hull of the sail boat
• Sails can be made with a flattened Capri Sun juice package or chip bag, etc.
• Mast could be added using a drinking straw or craft stick
• Nickels/pennies can be taped to boat bottom for ballast if needed - boats have better chance of staying upright while sailing.  
• Purchased kits not needed - use recycled items from home and get creative (ex. bring a drinking straw or craft stick for the mast)  

Ice cream will be provided.  If you have a favorite topping for ice cream afterwards, feel free to bring it along to share.  Pack 310 Summertime Events (3)
