If you plan to use GPS for navigation to our site, be aware that many carriers have intermittent signal in PARI’s vicinity, so queue up the directions ahead of time. We have found Google Maps to provide the most reliable route to us when your use our address of 1 PARI Drive, Rosman, NC.
Please note that this event will take place rain, clouds or shine. Should outside observing conditions not be favorable, PARI educators have prepared an exciting indoor program and activities.
