Family Stargazing Party - Holistic Moms Network Ramona, CA Chapter
Our last Family Stargazing Party was SO SUCCESSFUL, we decided to do it again!
Join us for a Family Stargazing Party! **Please read this entire post for important details**
HMN-Ramona and Principe di Tricase Winery have joined efforts to bring you a galactic evening! Join us for a night of pizza and stargazing with our very own local astronomy expert, Dave Whigham and his wife Kristy!
Dave Whigham has been an astronomy enthusiast since he was a kid. When Dave was in high school, he and his father built an observatory in their backyard right here in Ramona! Doug went on to SDSU and graduated with his degree in math and astronomy. Dave is a member of the San Diego Astronomy Association (SDAA). Through the SDAA, Doug takes his telescopes to stargazing events as public outreach efforts to share his love of astronomy and help others discover the wonders our skies hold. Dave’s wife, Kristy, is a retired teacher from James Dukes Elementary. Kristy will be assisting Dave.
Principe di Tricase Winery is family owned & operated by Raffaella Sepe with her husband and children. It is an authentic Italian winery right here in Ramona! They are offering a prix fixe menu, and it’s fabulous! Enjoy Pizza Margherita *Made in Italy* That’s right! The pizza is chef-crafted in Italy, flash frozen, and then it’s shipped to the winery! It’s ready to heat up and eat as if it came fresh out of the oven in Italy! We’ve had them. Trust us. They are AMAZING! **Special diets may be accommodated**
The evening will be FULL with fun starry activities for the kids, food & wine/beverage for everyone, and a guided tour of the night sky, whatever wonders it may hold, on Friday, December 10, 2021.
