✨ 8pm – Special presentation on the effects of light pollution (Waterfront Event Center)
Veronica Lozen from the Otsego Conservation District will present on light pollution and the effects it has on humans, animals and plants. Listeners will learn about conserving the night sky and tips to take home and share with friends and family!
🔭 Afterward – Night sky observing with our telescopes, weather permitting
