Stay tuned for a Night Sky Event!

One day during the week of August 17 - 20, weather permitting, we will have a brief presentation, and hold a skywatch with a telescope to observe the moon and other objects in the night sky.  This week will be the start of the growing phase of the moon!

Check back for exact day and time (about a week prior) once we have an accurate weather forecast!
