Come join Yadkin County Public Library to celebrate science and astronomy! During the daylight from 7-8pm, we will have STEM and astronomy-themed crafts and activities under the picnic shelter, with possible activities including:

• Solar System and Beyond sorting and matching games.
• Space-themed sensory bin.
• There Was a Black Hole planet maze and word hunt.
• Chalk for drawing planets or rockets in the parking lot.
• Solar System coloring booklet.
• Make Your Own Planet stickers.
• Pocket Solar System (draw it to scale on a strip of paper!)

The park playground is also available to use. While the sun sets and supplies last, glow-in-the-dark stickers and glowsticks will be handed out. Around 8:45pm, once it gets dark enough to view the night sky, we’ll have telescopes available for observing courtesy of the Forsyth Astronomical Society.

For the month of April, the Yadkin County Park StoryWalk will have the official 2025 NC Star Party book of choice on display for reading (6600 Service Road, Yadkinville, NC 27055). All events and activities will be free to attend and use.

The NC Science Festival’s annual Statewide Star Party is made possible through the generous support of the NC Space Grant.
