KIDFEST 2006
Kidfest is a special program for younger astronomers. This year,
Kidfest asks, "How far have we come with what we know about Space?"
Ken Davy, Kirsten Vanstone and their crew of Kidfest volunteers conduct
this program from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. Saturday in the Small Tent. There
will be three presentations (10 - 15 minutes in length), as well as a visit
by Story Musgrave, an astronaut who will talk about his adventures in space.
