Organizer Comments: Local Radio and TV news helped us to promote the event. We would have received more public but a local baseball team celebration caught many people. Those people appeared just after we have finished packing our instruments and were in the verge of departure. Many people was interested in Stellarium and to join our Club. We had now planted the seed for our first branch in another city: ANASA-Jinotepe.
