The Year 2008 in Photographs

On April 12th CCAS hosted a Night Out at Anson Nixon Park in Kennet Square. The weather that Saturday was iffy all day. The weather forecasts were for partly cloudy and a cold front was coming through that evening. Usually, a cold front means clear skies will follow. This time the forecast was wrong!

On May 10th we hosted a Night Out and Astronomy Day celebration at Hoopes Park in West Chester with the Borough of West Chester’s Recreation Department. All day the skies were cloudy, but as evening approached the clouds parted and the skies were clear.
