Dark Sky Park Hosts Forum in Petoskey: Outdoor Lighting

The Outdoor Lighting Forum presents Tribal Elder Frank Ettawageshik as keynote speaker for the annual awards luncheon at City Park Grill.

The luncheon celebrates night-sky friendly lighting choices by area businesses and residents, with an awards ceremony and dynamic presentations about why protecting the night sky matters ecologically, economically and culturally.

Reservations required; call the Office of Dark Sky Development at 231.348.1713.

This year's luncheon coincides with Earth Day and the annual Lyrid Meteor Shower, providing a stellar backdrop for our dark-sky dedicated Northern Michigan community.

Petoskey, on Little Traverse Bay, is about 60 miles north of Traverse City on US-31.
