Thanks to our dark skies, Windsor is a favored spot for star gazing. And it's been said we like our beer, too! So don't miss this special event: Saturday, August 8, 8:30-11:00PM at Notchview, Route 9, Windsor. RSVP recommended. Arunah Hill Natural Science Center will set up their telescopes and Kelly’s Package Store of Dalton will bring a sampling of fine beer. You can register online at westregion@ttor.org or call 413.532.1631 x 10. Trustees Members: $15. Nonmembers: $25. Gazing without tasting: free. If skies are cloudy, star talk and beer tasting will take place in Notchview's cozy Visitor's Center. Click here to learn more about dark sky places.
