Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
The day started cloudy but the clouds cleared right at the peak of the eclipse in Roseburg. Roseburg had a 25% eclipse but people still seemed to enjoy it. Lots of questions from all of the guests. Local newspaper reporter interviewed quite a few people.
