The great solar eclipse of 2024 is now history– and so are the people who traveled to the area to see it. The eclipse happened just after three Eastern time yesterday afternoon on a path that included the entire area.
People came from different places across the nation to see the over four minutes of totality in Vincennes. Vincennes eclipse coordinator Sara Wolfe says although the crowds weren’t as bad as expected, it was good to prepare just in case. Even with the lesser than expected crowds, it was a good weekend for various businesses across Knox County. Wolfe is glad she could help merchants and organizations benefit from the once in a lifetime happening.
Various merchants and others were involved in weekend “Dark Side Bash” activities in the time leading up to yesterday’s eclipse.
