The community street fair will include elements of science/astronomy, gastronomy, astrology, education, art, gastronomy, and entertainment. Jason Lindsay, aka Mr. Science from Hooked on Science, will be on tap.
Demonstrations will be held inside the Inland Waterways Museum. Other elements include art activities for adults and children, live local artists, celestial-themed education/reading stations, yoga and meditation stations, guided star gazing, a psychic fair, live music, food and drink, and shopping vendors.
