    Save the date for Raven Hill Discovery Center's tenth annual Summer Magic Festival on Saturday, July 21, 2012 for a special, adults only, night on the grounds of Raven Hill starting at 6:00 pm. On that evening, guests can take a trolley ride to the Center's Ancient World to see the new megaliths, learn through the hands-on exhibits in the museum, meet the animals, explore Beyond Jurassic Park, see the one room school house, enjoy the tree house, visit the off the grid energy house and the many other sites which make up Raven Hill Discovery Center. Local restaurants will provide the finger foods and a silent auction offers a wonderful array of artistic creations including a regular auction and a themed auction: "Reaching for the Stars." Guests can enjoy wine, tea or coffee while they listen to music provided by Weaving the Wind and the Northwinds Recorder Society. One hundred balloons containing numbers corresponding to prizes ranging from $10 to $45 0 will be sold and then popped all at once for some fun, hands-on entertainment. Artist, Martina Hahn, will also speed paint a 5' X 5' painting, as music plays and guests can watch a special image emerge. And the evening will end at the Moon Base, where Northern Michigan Astronomy Club members will help everyone reach for the stars through the Center's 16 inch reflecting telescope.The proceeds from Summer Magic support ongoing programs at Raven Hill, which connect science, art and history, as well as required matching donations for grant awards.
