Balloon Malfunction Leads to Tradition

 January 11, 2022

About 3 years ago, a weather balloon from Millersville University fell and landed in one our trees at the Picnic Grove. Millersville University uses a grant from NASA to launch these balloons to gather atmospheric data.  Commander Nat Amadeo and a few other members took the balloon, and its transceiver, and mailed it back to the university. Since then, Dr. Clark from Millersville University has used our Picnic Grove to launch the balloon and get meteorological readings.
