I like to defy the norm and so while a part of me believes all the doomsayers, another part of me says "Let's have pancakes!". What do you say?
When: August 21st, 9am - 11am
Total Eclipse timeframe: 10:15 - 10:30
What: Pancakes and a total blackout
Parking: On the street, no parking lot available. This is my neighborhood, so please be respectful of my neighbors and don't block driveways or mailboxes.
Directions to this park: It's easy to get to from Center St, Market St and Cordon Rd.
All participants of the eclipse need to provide the proper eyewear to see the eclipse. I am not doing that. I will provide pancakes, syrup and the utensils to eat them with. Bring lawn chairs to sit in.
Please put a watch on this just in case.....you never know what can happen. I will be doing periodic updates to the cache page via notes. I have a solar eclipse coin to raffle and some eclipse memorabilia also.
