Columbus Eclipse Party

The total solar eclipse is coming to town! It's stretching from Mexico all the way up thru Maine. There are a ton of websites about it. This one gives the exact times of total darkness in all places in the USA: https://eclipse2024.org/path-north-america.html . As for our event, there will be an area at the Central Middle School football field for teens only, hosted by the public library. Teens should register in advance to get a share in the games and snacks by going to to mybcpl.org/event/10221923 . Otherwise, the main portion of the football field and all open spaces in the general area will be taken by spectators of all ages from all kinds of places locally and from other states. Bring your own seating and essentials. There is no planned program or event for the general public. MicDrop DJ will be providing plenty of music with a good sound system so crowds in all directions can hear some tunes and whatever other announcements. Our city could triple in population over the course of the whole weekend. So if you travel, especially in the early afternoon, be prepared for long stops and backed-up traffic, and also have supplies with you. Things like extra food, water, clothes, diapers, cash, etc. Fill up your vehicle's gas tank before the weekend hits. Police will be directing traffic as best as they can. There will also be viewing parties up at the airport, the fairground, etc. Come and join the excitement which will only happen this ONE time this close to home!  Photo source:
