Argh... a prior misstatement of mine got replicated ... That's Remington Rand Univac of course, not Eniac. So much for being a brainiac. On Wed, Sep 14, 2016 at 4:59 PM, Chris Fala via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
Not that kind of bottle rocket, they were compressed air paper rockets. The building management was even concerned about these paper rockets hitting the ceiling and asked the exhibitors to reduce the air pressure. No idea what a paper rocket could hurt on the ceiling of an arena like this.

As previously mentioned on the list, Doug Crawford, Chris Fala and I set up a booth/exhibit on Sunday, September 11 (last weekend) at the Lehigh Valley Festival of Art, Science and Technology at PPL Center in Allentown, PA. The event was presented by the Da Vinci Science Center and Make Lehigh Valley.
The facility is awesome, it's a hockey arena that is normally the home of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms. They had a ton of space for everyone to get their science, art and technology on! The event was very high quality, well organized and really cool, lots of freebies/handouts, kids were painting things, dying coffee filters, launching bottle rockets, ---------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
