Annual Rocket Run held in Fayetteville

The Annual Rocket Run was held June 15 at Fayetteville High School. The rain stayed away, and there were 77 entries in the show.  

Over 30 trophies were awarded. Best of Show was awarded to a 1969 Chevelle 300 Deluxe owned by Bob Hammons of Fayetteville. 

Thank you to all who entered. Also, thank you to those who came out to see the entries and visit with the entry owners and Scouts.

Music and announcements were provided by Chazizz DJ Services. Food was available from the Fayetteville Touchdown Club. There was a 50-50 drawing and a silent auction.

The proceeds from the Rocket Run benefit Fayetteville Boy Scout Troop 456. The proceeds are allocated to cover annual membership fees and District and Council outing fees.

The Troop would like to thank all who supported and donated items for the silent auction. A special thank-you to Blanchester FOE #222, who sponsored the trophies, and to the Sixty-Eight Cruizers, who sponsored the Jim Hupp Memorial Pick.  

Next year’s show will be held June 21, 2026.
