Conducted an impromptu solo sidewalk session last night at JEM outside McDonald's. Non-stop queue for 4 hours. Fantastic crowd and reactions from seeing Moon and Saturn through the humble 80mm achromatic refractor.
The water fountain feature at the open area was not activated. May need to move deeper towards the main entrance area when it does. Unless one is using nitrogen purged telescopes and eyepieces?
Perhaps conduct another session there again for upcoming Super Moon weekend.
