Does the nighttime scare you? Does the dark bring you fear?
You don’t need to be afraid! You can learn all about it here!
Experience the evening. (We’ll have games and some stars)
And find out what makes up this world we call ours!
So come out and join us for a night of good fun
But you’d better hurry before it’s all done!
Star Night and Halloween are coming up soon
So don’t miss these chances to look up at the moon!
We invite you to the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area (ASCCA) for our annual Star Night this October 4th and for our Halloween Howl this October 26th for a chance to learn all about our dark sky initiative and take a closer look into nocturnal preservation!
Star Night at the Cross Conservation is a star studded event where we are joined by the out of this world RASC volunteers who delight crowds year after year with their illustrious facts. The evening will run in and outside of Belvedere House (the education building) at the top of 160 St. just south of 22x. Refreshments will be provided. Telescopes will be set up for star viewing weather permitted.
Time: Friday, October 4 from 7pm- 10:30pm. Admission: FREE!
We will be accepting donations at the door. Any money raised at this event goes towards our conservation education programs. These award winning programs help us to continue to fulfil Ann & Sandy Cross’ wishes to promote conservation and help inspire the next generations of stewards in Alberta.
