 SUNDAY FUNDAY- OCTOBER 8, 2023

WARM-UP

Ahh - October (finally)!!!  

Get out your sweaters and jackets!!  The forecast for Saturday, October 7th, is for a high of 79 degrees - and a low of 56 degrees!!!!  (After months with average highs in the 100s and average lows in the lower 80s!!)

That will be great for my orchestra concert today in Pfluger Park, 515 City Park Road, in Pflugerville, TX, at 3 p.m.  Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy a GREAT concert (Seventy-Six Trombones, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Big Band Medley, America Salute, Liberty Overture, Stars and Stripes forever and more.  

Want to see something spectacular?  How about a solar eclipse on Saturday, October 14th - about noon it will be at its max value.  Georgetown is a little off from the center.  It will be best west of here - with Kerrville on the best viewing line.  The best viewing line goes from Oregon to Kerrville and out over the Gulf of Mexico

The full moon for October is October 28th - and is called “The Hunters’ Moon”.
