Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We provided a weekly Solar Eclipse Safety and Observation workshop for all who are interested in observing the 2017 Solar Eclipse. Nikole Bosch presented a power point presentation on what a solar eclipse is, how/ when it happens, the difference between lunar and solar and she demonstrated and informed everyone on safety! We received so many wonderful questions from parents about what is acceptable and what you should never do during a solar eclipse. All attendees received solar eclipse safety glasses, along with safety literature. We had roughly just over 400 attendees throughout the night.
