Star-gazing this Saturday at Dry Creek Preserve

The Sequoia Riverland Trust is sponsoring a star gazing series at the Dry Creek Preserve on Saturday, July 18, from 8:30-10:30 pm.  Several large telescopes will be on hand, and amateur astronomer Dave Adalian and others from the Tulare Astronomical Association will answer questions on the stars and planets, the constellations, and the universe. For details go to the Trust’s website event link where you will find more details about this particular event. Another stargazing evening is also planned for this Fall on October 24.

The Dry Creek Preserve is located near Lemon Cove. From Visalia, travel east on Highway 198 to Highway 216.  Follow Highway 216 west toward Woodlake one-half mile and turn right (north) on Dry Creek Road. The preserve is located two miles down on your right.
