View Solar Eclipse
I know this is pretty last minute, but the World Shooting and Recreational Complex in Sparta, IL is located in the path of totality and they are planning special events for the eclipse this weekend. The park has 1,000 camping sites and I just did a quick check of ReserveAmerica, which shows 580 sites still available.
I was at the WSRC competing in the Grand American World Trapshooting Championships last week and spoke with folks from the Sparta Chamber of Commerce, who advised there are lots of special activities taking place over the weekend, including a presentation by Adler Panetarium (Fri. 08/18), a BBQ contest, and commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the filming of “In the Heat of the Night” in Sparta.
