Welcome to the first issue of AstroTent for kids. Now that Kidfest is an important part of the activities at Starfest, it's high time that our younger participants have a newsletter of their own. Children have a natural interest and enthusiasm for Space and Astronomy. ORIAH AGE SIX COLD SPRINGS, ONTARIO PAGE 1 | PAGE 2 | PAGE 3 | PAGE 4

I hope that this newsletter will allow them to explore the worlds of their imagination and share with us their knowledgeof our Universe. Perhaps for some this may be the start of a lifelong pursuit. I would like to thank the first contributors for their great efforts. I think all your hard work was really worth it! I would welcome any new contributions, either for next year's Starfest issue or for the quarterly club newsletter. ASHLEIGH AGE TEN OSHAWA, ONTARIO
