Fun Upcoming Events

June is turning out to be a busy month!

Here are some events in Snake Valley you don't want to miss!

June 14-16 Astronomy Festival, Great Basin National Park

The Astronomy Festival is expected to attract hundreds of night sky enthusiasts. Many telescopes will be available each night, along with several programs during the day. Click on the link above for the schedule.

June 15-17 Snake Valley Festival
Running concurrent with the astronomy festival is the Snake Valley Festival, with a huge variety of events over the weekend. If you've always wanted to be in a parade, this is your chance. If you want to get your friends and family wet, show up at the massive water fight. Lots of great food and drink, awesome entertainment, and fantastic things to buy at the yard sale, book sale, booths, silent auction, and live auction!

Ready to help make a difference in your national park? Join entomologists and park staff in the fourth annual BioBlitz. This year's BioBlitz focuses on flies, and over a 48-hour collecting period, it's hoped that the park list will be greatly expanded. It's also possible to find a fly that no one has ever seen before--one new to science. Special programs will be held during the event so you can learn more about these fascinating tiny creatures.
 
Hope you can make it to some or all these events!
