It would be a great opportunity to get the boys (and their families) interested in astronomy. But I need the help of some folks who would be willing to bring some larger scopes than I have (just about anything should fit that description...). The star party will probably be in my back yard (I live in North Orem), on Thursday, December 20, starting about 6:30pm. We'll probably hot chocolate to keep everybody warm. Any volunteers?
