Last month I photographed the 2nd Annual Rocket City Weather Fest held at the Shelby Center on the UAHuntsville campus. The event was sponsored by the UAHuntsville chapter of the American Meteorological Society.
To take from their website:
“This event will give the atmospheric and related sciences community an opportunity to educate the public on weather-related phenomena, emphasizing on safety and preparedness, and to showcase scientific research taking place here in Huntsville, AL.”
There were different booths aimed at all ages, informative lectures for adults, and fun and games for the kiddies!
Here are some of my shots from that day, if you didn’t make it out this year be on the lookout next year!
Alll of the lectures!
Filling the weather balloon!
Physics experiments!
NASA goodies!
Outdoor kiddie activities! Weather themed bean bag toss, face paint, and miniature golf!
Just some of the speakers; Gary Dobbs from WAAY 31, Paige Colburn of Madison County Emergency Management Agency and the keynote speaker – Dr.Greg Forbes of The Weather Channel.
