As we approach the April 8 total eclipse, have you considered what kind of eclipse watcher you want to be? One who abstractly marvels at the sight, or one who has a rock-solid scientific grasp on the cosmic forces at work? If you’re leaning toward the latter, consider this evening of eclipse-oriented edutainment: hands-on, family friendly activities (6:30pm), an eclipse presentation by led by Hill Country Alliance’s Night Sky Program Manager Dawn Davies (7:30pm), and night sky viewing with a telescope (8pm). Hop in the pool for a full moon swim to complete the communion with nature. – Kimberley Jones

No cost to play, fun prizes, and you’ll be right beside the tempting pastry cases of Quack’s: What’s better than that? All you gotta do is make it out … alive! – James Scott
