We see that there was an event in Springfield, Missouri on June 2, 2011 that celebrated the life of Marshfield native Edwin Powell Hubble. This Hubble cousin is likely the most recognizable one of all of us, and unfortunately we did not know in advance that the event was planned. It was described as a stone dedication and star-gazing held in the Nathanael Green Park of 2400 S. Scenic Avenue in Springfield. The Springfield Astronomical society provided telescopes for young and old to get a view of the universe.  See the Springfield News-Leader for their article here:  http://www.news-leader.com/article/20110602/ENTERTAINMENT01/106020311/The-Guide

Perhaps someone who lives nearby participated in the event. We would welcome your description of the event if you happened to be there.
