Join the Grand Rapids Amateur Astronomical Association at Blandford along with their telescopes and constellation expertise to share a clearer view of our astral neighbors, like Saturn, Jupiter, the moon, and a variety of bright stars. All ages are welcome and participants are encouraged to dress for the weather, bring lawn chairs, and binoculars or home telescopes, if you'd like. This program will take place with clear skies only! Check your email and our social media at 6pm the night of the event for weather updates in case of a cancellation.
