Reminder for Paramount Park Star Party

This is just a friendly reminder that the Paramount Park Star Party (star party event) is scheduled for Saturday, Dec 27, 2014, 06:00 PM. Please come out and join us!  And please send an e-mail to let us know if you plan to attend and bring a telescope because Mike will not be able to be there.  Because the Green Lake Star Party, which I coordinate, will be on a Friday night for the last time thisweek, I am free Saturday night and planning to take his place at Paramount Park; but that has become less certain since I am starting a cold today.  If at least one or two volunteers with telescopes can be there and weather permits, the star party will proceed as usual. As always, check for any necessary cancellation.
