Hey All,

We’ve had a few inquiries as to tickets at the door that I would like to address. This year we unfortunately cannot take money at the door so you really need to get your tickets before hand. You can do so on our celebration page here. But good news! To allow for those who may have been planning for tickets at the door the deadline has been extended until Midnight tonight!

See you all tomorrow!!

Do you know a creative genius in grades K-8??  Here is an opportunity for them to shine!  This year we are once again hosting an art contest with the topic “The Future of Space”.  This event allows youngsters to imagine what the future of space may look like and gives them an opportunity to excercise their imaginations; for it is there where the future lies.

The deadline for receipt of the art pieces is March 31st so it’s coming up quick but the effort is well worth it as there are excellent prizes!  Check out our “The Future of Space - Art Contest” page link for more detail and contest rules.

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend!
