If you are penny-pinchin' because the economy is down, or just plain frugal, but still want to experience some culture and other pleasures: Look no further. Each week, Events for Cents will inform the masses about the fun, the free, the charming and the cheap.---

Special Interest & Meet-ups
Salt Lake Astronomical Society: Star Parties
Have you ever wanted to see a star explode? Of course you have—that would be cool. I have no idea if that would be possible through a high powered telescope, but it's worth a shot. At a minimum, at these star parties, you can observe the moon, Saturn, stars, star clusters and constellations and, on Saturday, you can also see nebulae and galaxies. They have a free drawing for children 6-18 years old to win a telescope or astronomy books.
Harmon’s, 7755 S. 700 East, Midvale, July 8, 9 p.m.; Stansbury Park Observation Complex, 252 Hwy 138, Stansbury Park, 435-882-1209, July 9, 9 p.m.; both events are free, SLAS.us

Networking
Lunch Connect
While this is a bit more spendy than the focus of this blog, $20 to hobnob with more than70 business owners—as reported in a press release about LunchConnect’s inaugural event in June—could be invaluable. This is a monthly networking event, with July’s event keynoted by Overstock.com president Jonathan Johnson. Pay in advance and save $5.
