We also invite science-based universities and/or business who want a location within the path to run their tests, experiments, gather data, etc. during the eclipse. We had 6 in 2017. From high altitude balloon launches to measuring the bended light coming around the moon during totality. I have photos.
We dedicated a sundial on our courthouse lawn for eclipse 2017 that will also have a plaque for 2024. Photo?
We had a 4-day festival “SolarFest” with solar themed events, activities, food, parade, etc. in 2017 that we plan to do again.
