Cub Scouts Visit to Seagrave, Saturday, March 21st, 2009

Saturday, March 21st @ 7:00 PM Cub Scout Presentation / Viewing @ 8:15 / Seagrave I arrived early to setup and get the meeting hall ready but found Bob H and Bob N needed a hand lifting the 16” Meade back onto it mount. Bob N. tested it out later that evening so it should be back in operation for the next event and public nights. The presentation started at 7:15 and seemed to be a fairly full house with probably just over 40 seats taken. Afterwards I discovered that several of them were people that had arrived early for public night and just joined in with the group. This was my first presentation but it went well and several parents even commented on it. At around 8:15 we took it outside where I demonstrated how easy it was to setup and use the ETX80, pointed out how to find the North Star and let them try out the binoculars at the binocular table. Everyone then went into groups and rotated through the scopes. The temp was around 28 but they stuck it out until around 9:30.
