Have we investigated doing a party at a place like Wheeler Farm? Centrally located, most people know where it is, not a ton of lights, big open grassy area right next to the parking lot, plenty of parking, down side is that it is private and they might be worried about liability but good publicity for them, they do work with groups and do sponsor events, worth a thought. Sky has to be better than Harmon's. Also for meeting have we looked at the Columbus Center on 400 East, 23 South, very central, lots of free parking, a nice facility that caters to groups and clubs. Easier to get to than the University, right off I-80 and State Street. Bob Taylor I am interested to know if anyone has any ideas for a location for public star parties for slas to host at a location within the salt lake valley. I am getting an overwhelming response from slas members that they want Public Star parties at SPOC 1-2 per month Public Star Parties at Harmons 1 per month Public Sun Party 1 per month Public Star Party at a location in the SL valley with a dark sky (ie not in a parking lot with lights on) You can respond to this or email me directly at bmoore@commercecrg.com Bob moore
