Gaze at the Stars in Sister Bay

Stars are bright with minimal light in Sister Bay, creating an ideal venue for stargazing. Hobby and professional astronomers, and anyone who enjoys looking at and contemplating the celestial bodies in the night sky, are invited to attend a Star Gazing Party on August 6 in the Sister Bay Sports Complex. Stargazing will begin after dark.

All are invited to bring their own telescopes to the Sports Complex (on Woodcrest Road, at the east end of Mill Road), and train them on a celestial body in the sky. The telescopes will be open to the public.

Family Centers of Door County will host an astronomy-themed craft program for children.

Stargazers are encouraged to dress warmly (Sister Bay nights can be cool), bring a chair or blankets to sit on, and their own preferred snacks and beverages. This event is free and open to everyone.

For more information call the Sister Bay Information Center at 920.854.2812 or visit http://www.cometosisterbay.com. The Star Gazing Party is sponsored by the Sister Bay Advancement Association and Family Centers of Door County.
