FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE… DATE: July 9, 2018 CONTACT: Francesca Kefalas, Program and Media Coordinator 860-774-3300 Fran@tlgv.org Acorn Adventure – School Day Fun: 10 a.m., July 21, Kahn Road, Franklin (the one room school house does not have an address, however, 22 Kahn Road is a neighboring property). Please park at the Acorn Adventure signs. Step back in time at Franklin’s one-room school house and play the games teachers once used to have fun while teaching important lessons. The Friends of Ashbel Woodward Museum will be on hand to guide Acorns through five different activities from yesteryear. Acorns will have an opportunity to take home prizes and something they will make as an activity. Acorn Adventures are sponsored by Putnam Bank. For more information, call Fran at 860-774-3300 or email fran@tlgv.org Sunset and Full Moon Paddle with Ranger Bill: 6:30 p.m., July 27, Webster Lake, 114 Point Breeze Road, Webster, MA. Join Chief Ranger Bill Reid and Ernie Benoit of the Webster Lake Association for an enjoyable sunset and full moon paddle at Webster Lake. The sun sets at 8:12 p.m. and the moon rises at 8:13 p.m. making for a beautiful paddle on Webster Lake. We’ll plan on launching by 7:30 to get on the water in time for the sunset and moonrise. Early arrival is recommended to give an opportunity to check-in and prepare gear. Launch is from the Marina behind Point Breeze Restaurant at 114 Point Breeze Road, Webster, MA. Please RSVP to Bill at 860-774-3300 or via e-mail at bill@tlgv.org to reserve a spot. Mars Party: 8 p.m., July 30, Ayer Farm, 44 Ayer Road, Franklin CT: Join TLGV Ranger and NASA Solar System Ambassador Geoff McLean and Rangers Kim McLean and Steve Ayer on the Ayer’s farm for a twice-in-60,000-year event when Mars will be almost at its closest point to Earth and thus at its largest and viewable in telescopes. Also starring will be Jupiter and Saturn, both riding higher in the sky - a perfect trifecta for planetary observers. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs to sit upon the Ayer's hay field. The moon will rise about 9:30 and we can examine craters along the terminus where they look 3-D in telescopes. Bring binoculars if you have them - or even a telescope. This is a family-friendly event. No pets, please as the astronomical equipment is delicate. Service animals are permitted. Please arrive by 8 p.m. If arriving later please turn off headlights. Please, no one arrive after 8:30 p.m. as the car lights will cause night blindness in everyone else. Call 860-774-3300 for more information.
