ON APRIL 9TH & 11TH
BOULDER ROCKED THE PLANET!

Yuri’s Night Boulder 2009 was a huge success and thanks to our sponsors support and volunteers we were able to educate thousands about human spaceflight and the international achievements represented by Yuri’s Night. Thursday night we saw approximately 400 patrons at The b.side Lounge for our three bands: Areopagitica, Other Side of Clearview, and The Piggies. On Saturday we helped fuel the largest Astronomy Day to date at Fiske Planetarium with an estimated attendance of 750-1000. Our third event participation for Yuri’s Night Boulder was at the Russian Booth at the International Festival in the UMC adding to our international presence. This year there were 217 events in 47 countries, on 6 continents, and in 2 “worlds”.
