Free Stargazing Party Kit
Whether you’re planning a special date, a family fun night, or a gathering with friends or neighbors, we could all use the encouragement to look up and wonder at the beauty of the night sky. In Set the Stars Alight Dashel Greene (affectionately known as “Dash”) shares his love of astronomy with stargazing guests at a coastal English getaway, but you don’t have to travel to England to enjoy the sights he pointed out.
This complete Star Party kit was originally offered as a gift to those who purchased the book in its first month (July of 2020).
Now, to celebrate the book’s first birthday, we are pleased to offer it free for one and all! It contains everything to make planning a hope-filled evening a breeze and a delight.
