–Reading circles.
–Crafts.
–Visiting the star lab from NASA.
–Identifying constel-lations.
–Using a telescope.
–Building a telescope.
At 8:30, viewing will begin for amateur astronomers.

The event is funded by Remake Learning Days, Save The Children, 21st Century Community Learning Grant, volunteers from the community, and Central Appalachian Astronomy Club.
