Total Solar Eclipse in Kansas - Just One Week Away

Where will you be one week from today? Thousands of people are expected to turn out next Monday, August 21, in the northeast corner of Kansas to see the total solar eclipse. Watch parties are planned in Atchison, Hiawatha and other small towns to celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime event. KPR's J. Schafer spoke to the economic development director for Doniphan County, Adrienne Korson, to learn what's happening in her community. Korson says their solar eclipse events will begin on Sunday, the day before the big event, in the county seat of Troy.


That's Adrienne Korson, economic development director for Doniphan County, in extreme northeast Kansas.

And make sure you are in the pathway of the total solar eclipse!  Use this map to zoom in and see where you should be on Monday.  The closer you are to the BLUE line in the shaded area, the better off you'll be. And don't forget your ISO certified solar eclipse glasses!
