This 1st year of the Mulberry Mountain Star Party coincides with the Mulberry Mountain Hot Air Balloon Festival, scheduled to begin at dawn on Saturday, June 7th, 2008. Watch as Hot Air Balloons rise into the air in the early morning and again that afternoon, wind and weather permitting. We understand that tethered balloon rides may also be offered for a fee.
AOAS plans to set up a Public Observation Area on Friday and Saturday evenings. Several of our members telescopes will be available. Non members may set up their equipment in the Public Observation Area if they wish. All scopes are welcome.
The Public is invited to come and see the heavens.
