(Osgood, Ind.) – Community members are invited to view the April 8th Solar Eclipse in Osgood.

The Ripley County Chamber of Commerce will host “Party in the Dark” at Ripley County Park & Rec from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Admission is $5 per person and includes a pair of viewing glasses.

The event will include:

  • Cornhole tournament
  • Euchre tournament
  • Beer garden
  • Bounce house and kids activities
  • Local vendors
  • Food vendors
  • DJ

On the afternoon of April 8, a total solar eclipse will arc across the southern half of Indiana from southwest to northeast.

It will be the first total solar eclipse since the Great American Eclipse in 2017 and the last until August 2044.

During a total solar eclipse, the Moon blocks the Sun’s bright face — the photosphere — briefly revealing our star’s outer atmosphere: the shimmering corona, or “crown.” 

The zone of totality, in which it will become almost completely dark, runs through most of Dearborn and Ripley counties, and all of Franklin County.
