Summary
Great for the family! Let's gather round a campfire and do a little star gazing. We'll provide a high power telescope (powerful enough to see the rings of Saturn). Bring blankets, binoculars and dress warmly. Campfire free. A small fee for soup, hot drinks and s'mores. See details.
Description
Long before we had digital watches we marked time by celestial events like the equinox. We'll learn about some equinox traditions from around the world and celebrate the globally shared 12 hours of night and day.
