Big eclipse briefing Thursday, August 3 at Tupper Arts

The Regional Office Of Sustainable Tourism (ROOST) is promoting a special event on Thursday, August 3 that is designed to explain to the local business community details of the big solar event happening next April 8 in Tupper Lake.

A presentation by Seth McGowan on the 2024 eclipse which has been billed as “Totality in Tupper” will occur at Tupper Arts that evening at 7p.m.

Mr. McGowan, who is president of the Adirondack Sky Center and Observatory, has created a committee of about one dozen local volunteers who are making plans for the big event that could draw as many as 50,000 people to this community for this once in a lifetime eclipse.

Business owners, who have the opportunity to capitalize on this major event, and community members in general are encouraged to attend. Learn how this eclipse is different and what our community is doing to prepare for it.

Those who can’t attend in person are encouraged to contact Katie LaLonde, ROOST’s regional marketing manager, for details of a Zoom link. She can be contacted at (518) 831-5388.
