Moon Walk Schedule for 2008

Once a month (or twice when there's a Blue Moon), on the evening of the Full Moon, residents of Fair Oaks gather at the Old Fair Oaks Bridge to welcome the moonrise. It's a beautiful place and a beautiful sight. When the mood strikes, some sing moon songs. Others gather at the top of the Fair Oaks Bluffs. Bring hors d'ouvres, libation (please, plastic glasses), and friendly conversation.

We'll see you there!

March through October times reflect Pacific Daylight Savings Time.

None of the eclipses in 2008 will be visible in our area including the total eclipse of the moon on February 20, the partial eclipse of the moon on August 16 and the total eclipse of the sun on August 1.
