Lea and Jack Furness, 9, of Rockford, Ill., watch a model rocket

built by Cory Renchin (not pictured) take off Thursday morning

near Southwest Middle School. All this week children worked on

building their rockets and launched them Thursday. Four different

classes were available, depending on model-rocket experience,

ranging from basic to expert. The classes were instructed by Ken

Fiscus.
