Dave, I think we can probably drum up some local interest in this event (I've included the various list members in my reply here). Anyone in the lists have a good idea for a date or dates? -Rich --- Dave Fullmer <davef@hallmarkcabinet.com> wrote:
Hi Rich I'm the manager of the Mt Pleasant airport in Sanpete County. Each year we hold a fly in at the airport and it's steadily expanded into all things that fly, including rockets. You've probably already heard that Jake Garn (who has roots in Sanpete County and often comes to our fly in) has succeeded in scheduling the Interplanetary Conference in Utah next October. Conference members which include astronauts from all over the world, are scheduled to visit school districts throughout the state. In conjunction with their visit to Sanpete County I'm planning on several days of space related activities including model rocket demonstrations, space related movies at the local drive-in, and numerous educational outreach programs at the local schools. A star party would also be most appropriate and the remote location of places like Spring City Utah would be perfect for it. Other than sometime in October, I don't have any dates yet, but I'll be visiting with the Utah State Office of Education tomorrow (Wednesday) and presenting ideas for this event. Would your group be interested in holding a star party as part of the Sanpete County Space Exploration Event?
Thank you, Dave Fullmer

Usually the best dates are those around new moon :-) But you knew that already, didn't you? If we are allowed to camp out, I think I can fit it into my schedule. --- Richard Tenney <retenney@yahoo.com> wrote:

No, but it sounds like a great idea and, if it is scheduled & we know about it plenty of time in advance, I'm sure it will have a great turnout. Thanks for thinking of us, Dave of the airport!
