Good to see the news is getting around! True, we did not have a big turn out in Australia last year -I hope its not that most amateur astronomers here don't relish contact with the general public , had a bad experience or consider setting up in a brightly lit area as too much trouble. Anyway the response around the globe was amazing and some participants returned the following week if conditions were cloudy on the night. We get a bit of radio and press coverage which is all good , but its the enthusiasm that most people have in wanting to understand more about the night sky thats most satisfying.
Hope you can set up somewhere.1st qtr moon, Mars and Saturn are on the menu.
