Frequently Asked Questions

(and other tidbits of information that don't fit well elsewhere)


So How Do I win a door Prize?


Easy, just show up! Each registered attendee will be given one ticket in their registration packet. 
At three times during the weekend, we will be giving away free prizes, donated by rocketry companies across the country.

Each registered attendee will receive one regular and one grand prize entry ticket in their registration packets.  Additional tickets may be purchased for $1.00 each. Be sure to fill them out and deposit them in the marked containers at the registration desk!  Drawings for the regular prizes will be held  Just before the lunch and dinner breaks on Saturday and after the second session on Sunday. You need not be present to win the regular prizes. However, they must be claimed  by the time of the NARCON closes on Sunday.  At that time, all unclaimed prizes will be forfeited and new winner's names will be drawn for those prizes.  Names will be drawn until all prizes are given away. If you miss the Saturday  or and Sunday drawings, be sure to stop at the registration desk  late Sunday morning to see if you won something!


The Grand Prize drawings will be held at the end of the NAR Town Meeting on Saturday night.  You must be present at the time of this drawing to win!  One adult grand prize and one youth grand prize will be awarded.  If the person whose name is drawn is not present, their ticket will be discarded and a new ticket will be drawn.
 

Stay Tuned for The Grand Prizes - To be listed soon!

Other door prize considerations

  • Prizes will not be held beyond the end of NARCON on Sunday afternoon. 
  • Prizes will not be shipped by NARCON to the winners. 

  • Once they have taken possession, all prizes become the sole responsibility of the winners.

  • The NARCON 2009 staff welcomes donations of rocketry-related items for the door prize drawings! If you (vendor, company, individual, etc) are willing to donate something, please contact our Vendor Coordinator Patrick McConnell

  • Can the general public enter the vendor room free of charge?
    Yes.  If a member of the general public ONLY wishes to enter the Vendor room to look around and possibly buy things, there is NO charge to them.  If they wish to attend any other part of NARCON, they will need to either register as a full Attendee, or purchase a limited one-day-pass.

  • Will there be NARCON "day passes"?
    Yes.   A limited one-day pass to NARCON will be available for purchase each day at the NARCON Registration Table.  Pricing will be $15 for adults (18 and older) and $7.50 for youths (17 and younger) per day.  The day pass will grant the purchaser admission to all NARCON events held on that day  (Full NARCON on-site attendee registration will also be available at the rate of $40 for adults and $17.50 for youths.)  Those buying a day-pass will be given a unique name badge that is clearly marked only for the day that it is valid.   Those purchasing a day-pass will NOT receive a registration packet, or a proceedings CD-ROM.  Day pass attendees will receive a program book. Registration package materials will be available separately at a nominal cost. Those wishing to receive the "full package" will need to register as full attendees.

Day pass attendees are not eligible for free door prize raffle tickets  or  to receive a free Nantucket Sound kit from Fliskits.

  • Is there a sport launch?
    Currently there are no plans to hold a sport launch in conjunction with NARCON 2009. Why? Mostly because we strongly believe that NARCON is best experienced in a conference environment. And equally important is our field which is almost 20 miles away is known to be a real bog during that time of the year. The launch would just not be very much fun, all things considered.

  • So what is with the light house?
    When the NARCON 2009 LOGO was first being designed, we looked for something that would reflect the spirit of New England. Nobody could figure a way to determine the CP/CG relationship of a lobster so we found the next best thing. A lighthouse. It seems every bit of Americana kitsch seems to have a light house on it. Jim Flis asked if he could design the commemorative rocket and provide other services as the more infamous local vendor. Click here for a little more on the light house
