  • Judith Webb of MoonShadow will enthrall us with StarryTelling from around the world at Roda Movements. 6:30 pm
  • Make starry masks and necklaces at Summer Delights.  Buy a hot cup of cocoa from Greg, aka the Big Dipper.
  • Start your StarScavenger Hunt for fallen stars in over 20 stores.  Take your time though, you have a week!  Browse and find children's budget friendly items for friends, relatives and teachers.
