Ideally examples will be from parks or programs related to the NPS.
Note: a pop-up need not be a “Personal Service” program

Pop-Up Examples

Night Spoken

Grand Canyon National Park

For eight beautiful nights, a vintage cassette recorder was placed on a table at the 2018 Grand Canyon Star Party for visitors to find. A sign next to the old machine invited visitors to record a message to the year 2218, where stars can no longer be seen due to light pollution. They looked up. And they left these responses.
