Science Lecture Series at Saylorville Reservoir

Spacious Skies is the topic Friday July 19th at 7 pm at the Saylorville Visitor Center. Craig Johnson, the Executive Director of The Iowa Academy of Science is the speaker. Johnson, a local celebrity around Waterloo-Cedar Falls and in Cedar Rapids where he was a long-time broadcast weather reporter, now writes weather columns for Waterloo-Cedar Falls newspapers under the titles Weather Whys Guy and Ag Weather. The talk Friday is part of a series sponsored by the Iowa Academy of Science. The Visitor Center is near the east end of the Saylorville Dam. (Saylorville Lake map.)

For this and other events at Saylorville, check the calendar. If you don’t know the way and you’re coming from Des Moines, take Beaver Avenue north to N.W. 66th and turn east (right) then left onto Toni Drive then a little left onto N.W. 37th then (just past the dam access) you will see signage telling you to go left on N.W. Horseshoe Road (a little loop) to the Visitor Center.
