Event Report
Comments and anecdotes about the event:
FIRST NIGHT OF THE WVFD CARNIVAL, AND IT WAS A COOKER, EXTREMELY HOT WHICH MAY BE WHY IT WAS A SLOWER THAN NORMAL NIGHT. WE HAD SUNSPOTS, THE 4DAY OLD MOON, THE ISS AND ARCTURUS (ONLY STAR WE COULD FIND TO SEE). WE HAD SCALE MODEL WALKS (SELFIE WITH EITHER MARS OR CERES GOT YOU A POSTER). MIKE AND DAVE DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE PEOPLE, THEY HAVE A FUTURE IN OUTREACH.
