Time for More Pancakes

Or the planets or whatever else the folks at the Veen Observatory are able to find for you during their Saturday visitor’s night. In celebration of Astronomy Week, admission is free from 8:30pm-11pm this Saturday. Future visitor nights will run every other Saturday night through the fall, weather permitting.

Finally, it’s that time again when the FROM Food Mobile will make a stop at the fairgrounds. Anyone in the area who needs some extra food can stop by on Saturday between 10am-11am in the main exhibition building. Food will be distributed until it runs out.
