Our first event for the DeFuniak Springs library was a partial success. In addition to their regular summer reading program for children, the library has an adult program as well. We had scheduled an Apollo 11 50th anniversary presentation with a following Moon gaze. Unfortunately, rain bands from the remnants of tropical storm Barry prevented the Moon gaze portion of the event.
That left the presentation. Tom Haugh, the local NASA Solar System Ambassador, gave “The Apollo Legacy” to the assembled library patrons. After a quick overview of the Mercury and Gemini programs, the presentation went into more detail of the Apollo missions.
After a quick break for snacks, Tom discussed NASA’s current lunar programs and then finished with the components of the upcoming Artemis program.
We would like to thank the staff of the DeFuniak Spings library for their invitation and we hope that our next event does not involve tropical weather.
