Commemoration of Life for Blake Nancarrow at the CAO

The Nancarrow Family extends an invitation to friends of Blake Nancarrow to a celebration of his life on Saturday, June 1 at the E.C. Carr Astronomical Observatory (CAO). The event will start at 2:00 p.m. and continue through to 10:00 p.m., or later. We will share stories, laughter, tears as we remember Blake. As Blake loved the rocket launches at the awards picnics, we will be launching some rockets, weather permitting. The event will be recorded, (possibly live streamed), for those who are unable to attend in person.
