Events

Homeopathic Demonstration - How is Homeopathic medication made?  This demonstration will apply ordinary chemicals in homoepathic dilution.  At what point does it become undetectable?

Ghost hunters and their tools - Modern ghost hunters are nothing like Scooby-Doo and the gang.  Instead of the "Mystery Machine" van, they come loaded with lots of electronics.  Learn about this equipment and what it was originally designed to do.  With modern ghost hunters no one ever says, "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!"

UFO display - CVAAS has arranged for spaceships from another universe (or from the dollar store - we're not sure) to arrive at the Heretic's BBQ.  Bring your cameras, or cell phone cameras and be prepared to take the photo of a lifetime.

Debate with who?  We weren't able to get Ray Comfort to come and debate us (mainly because we didn't ask) but the CVAAS president promises that he can argue just as well as Ray Comfort - so he'll do the job.  Crocoduck!

Auction off your treasures - Bring any skeptic / atheistic books, DVDs, or CDs that you want to donate for auction.  There will also be an Atheist Dollar up for auction too.  All proceeds will be applied to CVAAS expenses, so this is for a good cause.

Atheists vs Skeptics Vollyball - In order to settle a rivalry that spans centuries.  Red vs blue - choose a side and have fun!

For the kids

Children’s play area – located next to the event pavilion

Clovis Rotary Skate Park – an excellent skate park.  There is no admission charged for the skate park, but specific rules apply. 

Skatepark Rules can be read online here.
