Team Eclipse is meeting regularly and coming up with some great ideas for this awesome event!

This small town of Kimmswick Mo. will be a perfect vantage point to be right in the middle of this historic solar event!

Our location is less than 30 minutes south of St. Louis Mo.  If you are looking  to enjoy this day but don’t want to pay for overnight lodging or drive for hours we would love to welcome you to view the solar eclipse with us.  Parking will be available and will be marked on the palaroo app soon.  Passing through and  have an RV….no problem….. We have available parking for you and its just a short walking distance away from all the activities.

Our guests will be talking about this for years to come…….What will you say to your children and grandchildren about where you were on this historic day?  You will not only speak of this day for years……. you will also have solar eclipse memorabilia to commemorate this amazing experience!!  T-shirts, Caps, posters and stickers, solar eclipse glasses just to name a few will be available for purchase.

Bring your blankets and lawn chairs, family members, friends and neighbors.  We will have waters, soda and snacks available for purchase.

The merchants will have plenty of photo ops available while you do a” seek and find ” throughout the day. When you are finished with the contest your name will be placed in a drawing for a wonderful gift basket with lots of goodies!

Make sure you stop by our booth and sign your name and  some thoughts of the day in our guest book…After the event is over, this book will be on display at our beautiful Historical Society Museum on 3rd street.  You can come back years later and look up your name and your thoughts!
