We had a fantastic turnup at the festival yesterday, I think I showed between 100 and 150 people the Sun, one of the other guys also had his PST set up for some of the time and also had queues. Everyone was so amazed that they could see the Sun through a telescope..safely! We even had one guy turn up who looked familiar...I just can't place the face. If you have a local street festival and would like to promote astronomy, enquire with the organisers about participating. We get so many people every year who have thought our stand was the best part of the whole thing.
