Hollidaysburg Planetarium

Winners of the Hollidaysburg Planetarium LOGO Contest. Over the past several months, as just one of her many ongoing projects, Alysia Watt, Art Teacher at Hollidaysburg High School, has been instructing her students in the making of a logo. Six entire classes participated in the project and the 5 top winners were given cash prizes provided by Fred Marschak, Planetarium Volunteer. The new planetarium logo was created by Noah Schenk, a Junior at Hollidaysburg High. There were many logos submissions to choose from and the final decision was difficult. Congratulations to Noah and all the students who participated.

Winter/Spring School Shows are now scheduled. Public shows will appear here.
