Star Party this Friday.
OAS has a star party that we could use some help with. It is Friday night at the Weber County Fair Grounds. They are having a Boy Scout Jamborall for the Trapper Trails council. They are expecting 5 to 8 thousand people. We will be setting up north of the Golden Spike Arena. We should enter through the VIP parking entrance. I have included the driving directions below. If any of you can come up and help it would be appreciated. The Golden Spike Event Center is located approximately 40 miles north of Salt Lake City, Utah at 1000 North 1200 West in Ogden, Utah. Take I-15 to exit 346 then follow the Fair Grounds Signs. Thanks, Dave
Dave, Did you get enough telescopes for the Boy Scout activity? I hope it went well. Would OAS like to meet SLAS at Arches NP the weekend of October 12-14 for a star party? They would love to have us come down. -A
We would love to do a star party at Arches with OAS!

We did have enough telescopes. It was really a fun activity. Showing Saturn to people for the first time is always good. Saturn is very nice to look at and people will remember it for a long time. As a funny thing that happened, they had a fire truck come to wash a little of the parking lot so a helicopter could land their Saturday morning. The boys taunted the fireman. He blasted them with the nozzle on top of the truck. It blew them head over heals off of the little grassy hill they were on. We all enjoyed a good laugh. We will need to check with Mike Klein on the Arches party. We have our last Antelope Island party on that Saturday but it might be possible to do both. I will pass your email along to him.
