Chad Moore said we had following numbers at the star parties: 700 Wednesday night, 670 on Thursday and 660 on Friday. I assume Saturday was comparable. From my observation very few of these people were repeat attendees. Most people only spend a day or two at Bryce. -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of diveboss@xmission.com Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2008 10:02 AM To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Bryce Festival I've been to a couple of these and I'm thinking the '7000 visitor' figure might be a little off. If not, and there were really 7000 visitors to this star party, then I am announcing here, today, the opening of my all night 7-11 just outside the park. ;)
Fabulous report, Rodger. Did anyone get pictures? I am thinking - an article in S&T perhaps. What other astronomical society gets 7000 visitors to an event?
