You don’t have to be a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court to harness the power of a total solar eclipse! On April 8, 2024, we’ll experience total solar eclipse and the darkest path goes right through Ohio. If you miss this one, you’re going to have to wait until 2099!

Join us for this webinar to learn about how this event can generate an economic benefit for your community with watch parties, tourism, and much more. You’ll also hear about potential profit sharing with the sale of specially designed eclipse watching glasses.
