Join the Volunteer Associate Board for a casual indoor/outdoor, day-to-night beer tasting, food sampling, star gazing and 5K run, benefiting the summer programs at the Museum!  Enjoy high powered local music acts as you sample more than two dozen micro and craft beers, paired with fresh-prepared foods.  Wine and malt beverages will also be available, as well as soda and bottled water.

NEW for 2011 – Start your weekend off right with a one-of-a-kind happy hour at an Adults Only (21+) Preview Party on Friday, June 24 from 5:30-10:00 p.m. Rock to local favorite Velvet Crush, and enjoy great beers and amazing foods.  

On Saturday, June 25 from 7:00-11:00 p.m., explore the grounds of the Museum as you make your way from the Observatory to the Trails and Treehouse, with multiple stops along the way both indoors and out.  Featuring plenty of food and several bands, this evening will offer additional family-friendly activities, including a 5k run for adults (6:30 p.m.) and a one-mile “fun run” for younger guests (6:15 p.m.).
