Dance Under The Stars Day

Aloha and welcome to Valentine’s Day which we also call Dance Under The Stars Day!

February brings the annual Dance Under The Stars Day fundraiser for Moonwater Observatory.  It’s a night of food, music, dancing and of course, the Sorta Giant Telescope (SGT).    

A few years ago, on February 14, the Moonwater SGT tracked an object flaming across the sky like a fiery fast-moving sunset.  The exciting discovery was thought to be a new comet.  It was an awfully big comet growing larger on the screen.  It wasn’t until it was too late did they realize they were not tracking comet but another failed rocket launch from the Meadow Exploration and Ballistic Engines Club.  The rocket crashed into and destroyed the Sorta Giant Telescope. 

Ollie and the Meadow gang admitted fault and agreed to pay for a new telescope.  Thus, the Annual Moonwater Observatory Dance Under The Stars  was born.  Of course, everyone thinks it’s a Valentine’s Day dance so the kissing booth is a big unintentional hit that spawned a sort of prequel fundraiser (see Smooch A Silly Spider Day). 

Come join us.  Tickets are $1 and include dinner, dancing and a tour of the observatory with time on the telescope just don’t touch anything).  The kissing booth is extra.  Bring a mint.
