Mercury, the smallest planet in our solar system, may be small, but it has some big secrets. Join us to learn more about this mighty planet that closely orbits the Sun and all of its surprising qualities. Presentations will be at the picnic shelter, followed by stargazing in the parking area. The Longmont Astronomical Society provides telescopes. Bring a chair or blanket, a light jacket, and a red flashlight, and get ready to enjoy a night under the stars!

Camping across the U.S. with my family, I collected bugs, leaves, fossils, and wildflowers tagging alongside park naturalists. In college I studied biology, music, and psychology, then toured the US / Mexico with a band, ending up performing in Italy. With all of its natural beauty and historical sites, Italy lacked the programs / parks I'd experienced growing up. Retired now from IT management and from raising a family in the US, I love exploring Boulder County and sharing it.
