Join CAAS and our friends at Pinnacle Mountain State Park Saturday August 22, 2009 for an evening under the stars (canceled if completely overcast). This is an exciting opportunity to experience Pinnacle Mountain State Park after dark, because they are usually open for day-use only. Bring a picnic supper and make an evening of it, allowing time earlier in the day to walk a trail, relax by the Big or Little Maumelle Rivers, or explore our visitor center exhibits. Meet at the Visitor’s Center. Admission is free and the time is 9 PM to 11 PM.

Star Party at Woolly Hollow Star Party
