Join the Davidson Lands Conservancy at Fisher Farm Park, 21215 Shearer Road, Davidson, on November 13th, 2015 at 7 pm for an evening of stargazing. Davidson Lands Conservancy has more information on their Facebook page. This is a free event:
People of all ages are invited to a wondrous night of stargazing at Fisher Farm Park. This event is sponsored by WOW-World of Wonder, Woodland Discovery and Davidson Lands Conservancy, and the Town of Davidson. The Physics Department from Davidson College and the Charlotte Amateur Astronomers Club are providing equipment and expertise for this popular event. All telescopes will be set up and ready to go by 7:00pm. After that, no changes to the telescopes will be made. Therefore, come any time between 7:00pm and 9:00pm. You’re welcome to bring your own telescope. Bring a flashlight and be sure to stop at our WOW table and have us put red cellophane on your flashlight when you arrive at Fisher Farm. This enables us to see the sky better. Keep car lights dimmed and your speed very slow as you drive into Fisher Farm to keep dust and glare from interfering with the night sky. Please keep your dogs leashed and under good control.
No registration is required. However, updated information and potential cancellation notices, due to weather or other conditions, will be sent to the WOW email list. If you‘d like to join that list, email dlc.wow@gmail.com. Cancellation notices will also be posted on DLC’s Facebook and website (www.davidsonlands.org).
This is a free event, but WOW and DLC need your membership support. You can become a member of DLC for as little as $35 a year. Please join at www.davidsonlands.org. Donations at the site will be gratefully accepted!
Fisher Farm Park is located at 21215 Shearer Road on the east side of Davidson. Take East Rocky River Road to Shearer, then head north on Shearer about 1 mile and Fisher Farm Park will be on the left.
Stargazing is always one of our most popular events. We’ve had up to 500 people at Fisher Farm park for this event, so come out early. In the meantime send out vibes for clear skies for November 13th. Thank you!
