Here is report from Atlee Homann, reporter.
The Bluebonnet 4H Club met on Sunday, 11/7/2021 at the Extension Office.
We were honored to be visited by representatives from the San Antonio Livestock Exposition. They invited us to join them for a full 2022 show and rodeo and to participate for their many scholarship opportunities.
We had a presentation from the Comal County Friends of the Night Sky. They strive to improve our night sky by minimizing light pollution and unnecessary light use in our area. By reducing light pollution, we have a better opportunity to see stars in the sky.
Some things we can all do to improve our night sky:
- turn off outside lights at night that are not necessary and/or limit security light use to those on motion sensors.
- point lights downward and use shields to limit upward shining of lights.
- use a lower temperature lightbulb--look for lightbulbs that are "IDA approved."
