Look Up And Listen: An evening of stargazing, storytelling, and s'mores.
Join us at Hanging Rock State Park's lake for our annual listening party! Pack a picnic and your lawn chairs, and get ready for a good time with spooky stories and campfires, plus tours of the night sky with the Forsyth Astronomical Society. Afterward, we hope you'll plan to stop by Green Heron Ale House for more fun hanging out with your friends from WFDD and other listeners — best of all, your first drink is on us (in our signature pint glass that you get to take home)!
Early bird tickets are on sale now through September 20th.
