Bad weather didn't stop Harmony Dark Sky Festival

We have had a busy April going to Harmony Florida The Dark Sky Festival 2010 we had a great Star Party with 3 main Astronomy clubs involved Brevard Astronomical Society (BAS), Melbourne Astronomical Society(MAS), and Central Florida Astronomical Society(CFAS). With the weather looking so bad, very cloudy we still managed to get over 6,000 persons to the event. All we could do for the people was show them the different types of telescopes we had and how they were used, we passed out Astronomy Magazine handouts, on the 25 brightest stars in the night sky. We also passed out Welcome to Astronomy by Robert Burnham and Your guide to THE MOON by the same author. We passed out (BAS) business cards with many other items.
