Meteors & S'Mores

Join
the Ford Amateur Astronomers for this special astronomy event.  With your naked eye you will be able to watch
potentially hundreds of meteors flash across the sky as they enter our
atmosphere.  They are best viewed while
laying on your back, so it is advised you bring a lawn chair or a blanket.  Sometimes the optimum viewing of the Perseids
is well into the evening and even after midnight, so you may want to come
prepared for a long night or even arrive a little later than the official
start.    

The
park will be providing ingredients for S’Mores for everyone to enjoy during
their sky-gazing, and members from the club will be setting up some of their
telescopes so visitors can also view other planets and stars.    Dress accordingly and bring bug spray, a roasting stick i and
your own beverages.  A Recreation Passport is required for park entry. 

Event will be
cancelled in the event of inclement weather, but you can enjoy the Perseids
even on your own from July 23rd – August 20th, with the peak occurring on
August 12th.
