“IMPACT!!” - Several movies have shown us what happens when something large smashes into the Earth. But, how many times has the Earth actually been hit by meteorites, asteroids, and comets in the past? Will it happen again? What are the real results of an impact? What and where are the potentially hazardous impactors now? Join us as we fly through space to find answers to these and other important questions. This show will be a big hit, so don’t miss it! Please enter through door #6 at Mayo High School.

“Rochester at Night” - Come view the night as it appears from Rochester, Minnesota. We will tour tonight’s constellations, as well as learn tricks, tips, and secrets for following the stars all year long. We’ll also learn how to navigate using the stars, tell time using the stars, and follow the seasons using the stars. Then we’ll take a trip into the universe! Come see what you’ve been missing every night! Please enter through door #6 at Mayo High School.

We will have bunnies, chicks and carrots for you to choose from to make this cute spring decoration.

Join us for a foam-tastic Foam Dance Party at Ironwood Springs Christian Ranch in Stewartville! What is a foam dance party? A foam dance party is just that—a party surrounded by foam! This is a full sensory experience filled with good music, delicious food, and foam fun! This pile of foam, which Ironwood calls "The Foam Zone," will create the ideal environment for you and your community friends to make lifelong memories. High-energy and family-friendly music makes the experience the perfect party atmosphere. Dance the evening away as you and your friends build foam snowmen, pile foam on your heads, create sweet new foam hairdos, and stand underneath the "foam rainbow" created by the foam cannon. A barbecue dinner will be provided prior to the dance, and refreshments will be provided throughout the duration of the event. Expect to get wet and foamy, so wear appropriate clothing. One-piece swimsuits, quick-dry clothing, towels, and water-resistant footwear are ideal choices of what to bring to this engaging experience. Don't forget to bring a change of clothes for the ride home. Foam parties involve exposure to foam and water which can be harsh on the eyes for some. It is recommended to bring swim goggles to protect your eyes if this might be an issue for you. Staff who wish to eat can register and pay the $15 fee. Meet at the Founder's Lodge parking lot, Ironwood Springs Ranch, 7291 County Rd 6 SW, Stewartville.
