Meteors on the Mound

JDCF invites everyone to Meteors on the Mound for a glimpse of the Perseid meteor shower from atop Horseshoe Mound Preserve, which is one of the highest points in Jo Daviess County and offers spectacular views of the tristate area from several different outlooks.
There will be family-friendly activities as well a presentation by an expert astronomer. Amateur astronomers will have telescopes onsite so that participants can view various heavenly bodies. If you have a telescope, please bring it along. This is the only time of the year that the preserve is open to the public after dark so it is a special occasion. Suggested donation of $10/person or $25/family. This program is weather dependent please check back here for updates.
The Apple River State Bank/First Community Bank of Galena is a proud sponsor of this event.
