Anyone interested in enjoying the height of the Perseid Meteor Shower are invited to a special event later this week at Moraine State Park.
On Thursday (August 12th) Preston’s Pearl will be setting sail from the McDanel’s Launch on the North Shore. During Thursday’s session, the Park Naturalist and volunteers will be leading event goers on a cruise that will feature views of the Perseid Meteor Shower from the pontoon boat’s observation deck.
Thursday’s event will start at 8:30pm and continue until 10:30pm. Seating is limited, and tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors and $8 for children ages 12 and up. Pre-registration is required, and can be made by calling the Owlet Gift Shop at 724-368-9185.
Those interested in attending are also reminded to dress for the weather, and to bring binoculars if they have them. Current health guidelines will be followed.
