Kicking off my very first event working with Peak Events was the Star Party! I thought it was a great first event to work, easing me into the world of events. It was an event perfect for Flagstaff; three days of about 15-30 telescopes set up around our beautiful Buffalo Park, with astronomers from all over Arizona there to guide participants to what they were looking at. It was free and open to the public, and it was such a success!
I was placed at the entrance where we handed out red light flashlights to every person and fliers about what they were about to see. It was basically the information booth, and we had to answer a lot of questions about what exactly the event was about because it seemed like many people just stumbled upon the event. I was also the designated “clicker counter”, which was a lot more work than I thought it would be. Who knew that making sure you click for every single person that comes in would be such a challenge? I really enjoyed it though, and if there is ever another event that needs a counter I’ll be the first in line.
Overall the event was really exciting, and it was amazing to hear such good feedback from everyone that came through!
