ANNOUNCING THE 2009 GOLDEN STATE STAR PARTY
We are pleased to announce that the Golden State Star Party in 2009 will again be held under the very dark, clear, and hospitable skies of Frosty Acres Ranch near Adin, California. GSSP 2009 will happen a little earlier this year, starting on Saturday, June 20, and ending Wednesday, June 24.
The Early Registration Period begins on January 2, 2009 and ends March 30, 2009. The adult registration fee for all four days is $50. The fee will increase to $60 on April 1, 2009, and to $75 after June 12, 2009. As in previous years, children under 18 years of age will be free.
Sponsored by The Astronomy Connection (TAC), this event has established itself over the years as the premier star party in California. GSSP will continue to feature the darkest skies available to large groups in California and a huge observing field ideal for camping and equipment set-up. In addition to observing activities, attendees can also enjoy nearby wildlife refuges, geothermal sites, Burney Falls, state parks, swimming in nearby Bieber, and other activities. We also plan to have an encore of last year’s popular Ranch Day event hosted by the Albaugh’s and other local families.
For registration and more information, visit our official GSSP Website at http://www.goldenstatestarparty.org. Register early and take advantage of the lower registration fee. We hope to see all of you at the Golden State Star Party in June!
