Thousand Oaks (CA) Arbor Earth Day Fesitval (April 5th)

Post by klegore »

This Saturday, April 5th Focus will be attending the Thousand Oaks Arbor Earth Day festival at Conejo Park in Thousand Oaks, CA. This event promotes going green, wind, solar and other forms of power as well as recycle ideas. During the event Focus will be providing free solar viewing with our Coronado Solarmax 90DS, 120mm CaK scope and 80mm white light. Everyone is welcome to come, the event goes from 11am to 4pm on Saturday.

As a partner of the CBSAP we will also be handing out free solar glasses!

Pictures to come.

Best of luck with that.

Hope it all goes well. Maybe you'll create more solar converts. :)

Wow we were busy this Saturday. I believe we handed out over 500 pairs of glasses and talked to nearly 700 people in total. Images can be seen on the Focus Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 108&type=3
