Space Cadets Welcome
If a kid in your house is deep in a space phase, this is their night. The same goes for the grown-up in a space phase. Bring both and take turns at the telescope.
A starry night is what the organizers are hoping for. Bring someone along and find out what the sky has to show you. See you there!
