Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
The astronomy area is at the sun dial on the Montgomery College campus, enabling scope polar aligning. All walks of life attend this event, including older astronomy presenters including college instructors. Admission is free and the college is in an urban area making it accessible. People of all ages were very interested in the information and activities. We used a 110" sidewalk chalk sun and multiple choice of Earth sizes for prizes of stickers. Several participated in this side activity.
