Moon Walk Schedule for 2010
Moon Walk Schedule for 2010
Once a month (or twice when there is a Blue Moon), on the evening of the Full Moon, residents of Fair Oaks gather at the Old Fair Oaks Bridge to welcome the moonrise.
It is a beautiful place and a beautiful sight. When the mood strikes, some sing moon songs. Others gather at the top of the Fair Oaks Bluffs. Bring your libation of choice (please, plastic glasses), hors d'ouvres (if you wish), and friendly conversation.

We gather and sing some of our favorite moon songs in honor of the full moon. This is the moon rise on December 23, 2007.
