<div>Some Fun Facts</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- The NSTAR2017 will be hosted at the University of
South Carolina. USC is located in the center of
Columbia next to the State House. Columbia is known
for its southern hospitality and family friendlyness
and has lots of things to do and explore. <a

<div>- The center of the total solar eclipse on August
the 21st passes directly through Columbia. Roof-top
viewing will be part of the program. It is famously
hot and typically sunny during that time of the day
and year, but we can only promise that you won't see
the sun for two and a half minutes. <a

<div>- 130 hotel rooms have been blocked early enough to
ensure standard rates, but due to the "Solar Eclipse"
and "Move in Week" prices are expected to go up
significantly. The rooms will be available for booking
when registration opens. </div>

<div>We hope to see you next Summer,</div>
