The Triad Starfest, *Tri*Star* for short, is a gathering of astronomers of all types, from novice to professional, for a full day of presentations, displays, and observing. The event allows astronomy enthusiasts to share ideas, learn about a range of astronomical topics, get together with old friends, and make new ones. The event will draw astronomers from North Carolina and surrounding states.
*Tri*Star* will take place on Saturday, 7 March 2009 in the Percy H. Sears Applied Technologies Center on the campus of Guilford Technical Community College in Jamestown, NC. In addition to a series of speakers scheduled throughout the day, there will be a wide range of astronomical displays, assorted astronomy-related vendors, prize drawings, "how-to" help for astronomy beginners, a photography contest, and solar observing at lunchtime (weather permitting). An evening observing session is also scheduled, and *Tri*Star* t-shirts will be available.
In addition to Saturday's agenda, we also present a Friday night public lecture by one of our invited speakers.
This presentation will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, March 6th, in the Applied Technologies Auditorium.
A public viewing at the Cline Observatory will follow the talk (weather permitting).
Best of all, there is no registration fee - this event is free and open to anyone with an interest in astronomy!
