BARNABY BEAR'S STAR GAZER PARTY:



Join HCS Creative Endeavor's for a free educational community event! Barnaby Bear's Star Gazer Party will be held Aug. 25th at the Paradise Hills Park! Join us for star gazing, and educational activities. Barnaby Bear, our big lovable literacy bear, will be the "star" of the evening. He will teach kids about the night sky, read a story, and sign autographs, while spreading the word that "Readers Are Leaders!" There will also be Barnaby Bear photograph sessions during the event!




Many organizations are coming together to provide hands-on fun for families. Activities will be provided by Radio Disney, Rio Grande Astronomical Society, ABQ Rocket Society, Hinkle Family Fun Center, Albuquerque/Bernadillo Library, ABQ Ride, and the Albuquerque Home Learners. Join the Boy Scouts at their "Camp Adventure" booth. The Girl Scouts will also be at the event to teach kids how to make silly putty as part of their "Girl Scientist" booth! The City of ABQ Parks and Recreation will provide a climbing wall and World Balloon Promotions will be at the event with a HOT AIR balloon! An inflatable planetarium will also be available for indoor star gazing at the Paradise Hills Community Center! Barnaby Bear will look forward to seeing you there!
