Once again, the rangers at Pacheco State Park would like to have a public
star party. The date is Saturday, April 16.
As many of you know, public attendance at these star parties has been light.
The coordinator, Jennifer, is planning a large advertising campaign to
attract more people this year. The star party will be advertised in local
newspapers and the California State Parks Newsletter. In addition, she will
be sending flyers to over a thousand fourth graders. Finally, she will
advertise the star party at their Wildflower Day, two weeks before. We're
anticipating a healthy turn out.
The official time for the public is from sunset to 11PM. If you would like
to participate, please contact me off list.
For those who don't know where Pacheco is, it is east out of Gilroy, at the
top of Pacheco Pass along HWY 152 (the same turn-off as Dinosaur Point).
Turn right into the parking lot a few hundred yards from HWY 152. Anyone
bringing a telescope for the star party does not have to pay the usual fee.
Thanks.
Albert
