One of our favorite annual events is the Hurlburt Field Family Fun Fest. It is held on base in the family community park and in conjuction with the base Easter Egg Hunt. This year we co-hosted with the Escambia Amateur Astronomers Association (EAAA) and together we had 6 scopes set up for viewing. The moon was still up during the very early stages of the Fun Fest so the moon was also a target but it set fairly soon and all attention went solar.
Several hundred viewers took advantage of our display, while we took advantage of the numerous food vendors.
We had enough scopes so that there were two viewing lines. There were several sun spot groups visible so we showed a full disk view and then a magnified view of one of the sun spot groups. We also had one telescope set up for solar projection to demonstrate the technological contrast between classic and modern methods.
