Flagstaff’s 23^rdseason in science begins with emerging explorer Alexandra Cousteau as the Shoemaker Keynote Presenter.

The 2012 event also will explore ancient oceans, disappearing springs and efforts to save endangered fish, as well as share in the adventures of river running scientists. In addition, the Discovery Telescope is poised for its First Light!

All participating organizations must bring their own tables, chairs and shade cover if desired. All tents and canopies need to be weighted down on all four corners, regardless of the weather. This means weights (such as buckets with sand or rocks, for example) must be tethered to all poles. Stakes are not allowed in the park grounds.

Any tents/canopies that are larger than 200 square feet require a special permit. Please contact Festival coordinator Bonnie Stevens (928-380-4349) if you will be using a large tent.

Nothing may be attached to trees including rope or string to hold up anything, such as signs/banners.

Water or electricity needs, or the use of generators, must be coordinated with the Festival coordinator.

Water hoses from the City of Flagstaff building to Wheeler Park must be run under the bridge rather than across the street.

Participating Science in the Park organizations and visitors will not be allowed to park vehicles in the library and Wheeler Park parking lots. Those who need to drop off materials for booths may do so quickly

from the Wheeler Park parking lot before 9 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 22. That parking lot will reopen after 2 p.m.

Those who plan to use the Wheeler Park parking lot for activities need to work with the coordinator.

All participating organizations must have a representative meet with the Festival coordinator by 8:30 a.m., Saturday, Sept. 22 or prior to that day, for booth location.
