The Star Countdown is on for Hacienda’s Annual Star Party - Virtual 2020 on Saturday, December 5th from 5:00-6:30pm!!   

RESERVE A CRAFT PACKAGE: Sign up via Konstella (https://tinyurl.com/y5fy9fpz) for a no cost craft activity bag to be picked up on December 2nd or 3rd at 3:15-4:30pm at Hacienda.  

DEADLINE TO RESERVE: November 23rd. 

Star Party event team can only ensure craft packets will be available for those who have check out via Konstella. There is no cost as this event is funded by HIPS. 

It is not necessary to pick up a craft bag as a detailed list of materials will be provided as most items you will have in your home.

Annually HIPS co-hosts with our Science team a night to explore our skies through hands-on craft activities and viewing the skies.  Due to the pandemic, this event will be via WebEx to see friends to:

*Create craft projects

*Listen to an expert speaker of black holes from Texas Tech University

*Partake in 'moon' yoga and

*Enjoy a cup of hot cocoa

all from the comforts of your home.  Detailed program to be shared shortly.
