H-E-B Creamy Creations Texas Starry Night Ice Cream was dreamt up for every Texan that loves stargazing! H-E-B will be on site to hand out free samples of this special ice cream flavor.

Star Party Etiquette: Bring a flashlight with a red infrared “night-vision” setting or make your own by covering a regular flashlight with red cellophane and a rubber band. Dress for the weather and bring water and a camp chair if you’d like. Don’t touch any equipment without asking the astronomer first. Avoid loud and boisterous activity; the stars in the sky are the show for the night.
