CANCELLED: Night Under the Stars: An Evening of Stargazing & Planet Watching

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER & WILL BE RESCHEDULED.

Join the Walton Library for an unforgettable evening under the stars! Explore the wonders of the night sky with local astronomy enthusiast Forrest Hamilton, who will have specialized telescopes available for viewing planets, stars, and other celestial objects.

The event will begin at 9:45 p.m. on Saturday, August 15, at the Little League Ball Diamond in Walton.

To ensure the best viewing experience for everyone, please arrive on time. Once the program begins, headlights and bright lights can interfere with telescope viewing. The park lights will be turned off for the event, so please avoid using flashlights or cellphone lights. The library will provide red lights, which are safe to use during nighttime sky observation.

Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets for comfortable seating. Don’t forget your camera if you’d like to capture the beauty of the night sky—just be sure to turn off the flash.

This free family-friendly event is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about our solar system, experience the night sky through professional telescopes, and enjoy an evening of discovery with your community.

We hope you’ll join us for a night that’s truly written in the stars!
