    Stargazing event at Spooner Lake Aug. 24,
    For a good sky show check out the Perseid meteor shower this weekend. Find a place away from lights, set up a chair or chaise lounge and enjoy this yearly event. Peak time varies, but between 10 p.m and 2 a.m are usually pretty good. Some years it’s pretty good other times t’s a bit of a dud. Enjoy! Old long Skiis
