Tulare County Astronomical Association encourages people to attend the second annual viewing of the Delta Aquarids meteor showers at Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park this Friday night. Park interpreter Jerelyn Oliveria said last year "People came out, sat on the lawn of the old school and visited, told stories and had picnics.”
