Thanks to NLB for the invitation to use their booth to promote astronomy! And of course, thanks to my wonderful astro friends for the support in time, effort and equipment! It was a successful event. We were lucky the sky was clear enough to view the Sun. The students, parents, general public and VIPs managed to take a good look at our nearest star. The students also had a good time solving the solar system puzzle at the NLB booth. Some had so much fun solving it they do not really care what the prize was! :)

Personally, very glad to see amazing sunspots again after a long solar observing break. :)
