Sky viewers! Please join us on January 3rd for the Quadrantids meteor shower! This yearly shower is known for a grand display of meteors with long fiery tails and an impressive 40 to 60 meteors an hour. Northern hemispheres have the best viewing opportunity for this meteor shower between midnight and dawn. The program will begin with a brief overview of meteors followed by a hike to our meteor viewing spot. Blankets are encouraged! We'll have hot cocoa, coffee, and hot cider.
