Almost Total Eclipse Party
Join us from 1:00 – 2:00 pm on Monday, August 21 to celebrate the almost total eclipse in West Memphis! We’re providing eclipse viewing glasses (while supplies last). And what kind of party would it be if we didn’t have eclipse themed snacks – Moon Pies, Sun Chips, Milky Ways. The West Memphis Police Department is teaming up with us for the event to supply snow cones. It is not often that we are so near such a spectacular natural event, so join us to celebrate.
If the weather does not cooperate, we will live stream the eclipse in our conference room.
