The stars were lit up Friday night in the skies above the Edgerton Explorit Center, and so too were the eyes of young astronomers peering out into an exciting new world of science.
The center hosted its first stargazing event in six years, drawing a steady stream of traffic to the three outdoor telescopes, as well as the indoor Explorit Zone.

Get active and have fun.
That was the spark behind a new Junior Hoops basketball program, which has 78 total youth enrolled in the weekly event at the Hampton Auditorium.
“We wanted to just area youth active, out moving around,” said Dennis Ferguson, one of nearly 20 volunteers in charge of the first-year activity.
Fellow volunteer Matt Arndt said the mission is simple.
“We’re a group of volunteers with a desire to see kids succeed, have fun, and get active,” he added.
