Did you know? A meteor shower occurs when the Earth plows through the orbit of a comet. And, that we have a monthly update on our Garrett County Skies page?
We will be watching the “best meteor shower of the year” … the Perseid Meteor shower from the Discovery Center 9:00 pm tonight. There will be naturalists and astronomers on hand to guide you through the night sky.
Keep an eye on Daily Notes this week for an exclusive deal on donuts from one of the lake area’s premier donut shops.

Keep an eye open for more deals like this on donuts and other products/services in the coming weeks.
