Stars Over Surry, Night Sky Event August 9th
The Surry Conservation Commission, in collaboration with Blue Hill Heritage Trust, invites you to join them for a celebration of the night sky! We will begin the evening with an indoor planetarium presentation at the Surry School, and then head out to Surry Forest once the sun goes down, for a guided tour of the night sky. All are welcome and all events are free.
