Local Conventions, Star Parties and Other Club Events
CVAS works with the local park districts including Cleveland Metroparks, Lake County Metroparks, Geauga Park District, various schools and scout groups by hosting star parties at Indian Hill Observatory and just about anywhere a group requests us. We also host an annual convention at our Indian Hill observatory and participate in conventions with other Northeast Ohio groups. Please note that for The Geauga Park District programs this year, Saturday will be the alternate night if the Friday program is rained or clouded out. Our Director of Observations, Bob Modic, will make the go/no decision by 3 PM of the event and contact all club members.
