Event
Beer Tasting and Meteor Shower
Set your eyes to the sky to view the spectacular summer meteor shower. Enjoy a taste of Rapscallion beer, or its homemade root beer and enjoy the view of the sky from the grounds of Hyland Orchards. The Perseids meteor shower will be at its peak between August 9 and 13 and since it is a new moon, viewing the shooting stars should be amazing! Start the evening with a Native American tale of how the stars got in the sky. Amateur astronomers will provide telescopes for you to view to view Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or a myriad of deep sky objects. Snacks and Polar beverages also included.
This is a fundraising event to benefit Hitchcock Free Academy in Brimfield, MA - a public nonprofit community center serving people of all ages by providing programs to enrich lives through a variety of activities since 1855.
In the event of rain or cloudy skies, the event will be moved to the following day - Thursday, August 13th. In this case, you will receive an email from us confirming that we are rescheduling. In case of overcast skies on August 13th, an astronomy slide show about the solar system will be held in the Hyland Pavilion.
What to bring: A Six-Pack of Friends! Bring a chair or blanket, bug spray and a flashlight to enjoy the magic of the night sky with your friends. Please note: only red flashlights are allowed to protect your night vision. Red cellophane will be provided to cover yours.
