I didn't realize that it was going to be as popular as it appears to be. From what I understand a lot of the available rooms and vacation rentals in the area are booked due to the event.

J. Jackson Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Potential shit show here in the NEK. Rooms are booked solid. One of my wifes friends has 36 family members coming from all over to see it. Farmers are renting sites for campers for 500/day. Don't know if merchants are ready with staples for the 50k+ coming to the area. Buy what you need today or tom! Edited April 4 by J.

They are giving away 1000 pairs of eclipse glasses to the first 1000 people at the park in Island Pond. This might just eclipse the turnout for the Friday Night Lives in the past. I know not funny 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Jackson Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Our local airport expects near 100 planes coming in over the weekend. I would be surprised if they see 100 incomings in 3 months! We're in the 100% swath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But back home in the fingerlakes we will get the full effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
