With the cancellation of Star Gaze this past weekend we have added an additional Public Night for this coming Sunday evening 6:30pm to 11:00pm at Crockett Park. Â Special thanks goes out to the club members that are making this happen!

Public observing at Great Meadow is cancelled due to rainy weather and wet field conditions. ~ Lyle Mars
