Dark Skies events return at county park

Dark Skies events at the Rappahannock County Park are finally returning this spring after the program was put on hold last year following a dispute with park neighbors.

Those who register in advance can stop by the park on April 2 between 7:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., when there is expected to be a crescent moon, to peer into the skies from three different viewing stations.

Participants must bring their own viewing equipment and register for the event at least 24 hours in advance by visiting https:// rappahannockcountypark.weebly.com/ park-documents.html, downloading and completing the “Dark Skies Registration for Free Observation Evenings 2022” form and emailing it to rappdarkskies@gmail.com.
