Come join me along the beautiful Niagara River at Gratwick Park and watch the TOTAL ECLIPSE as it passes through North Tonawanda!
Here is a time-table for the local time:
Begins: 14:05; 2:05 pm
Maximum Totality: 15:20; 3:20 pm
Duration of Totality: 3 minutes, 41 seconds....~ 3:18 - 3:22 pm

This is a rain or shine outdoor event....hopefully no snow!
Bring your ECLIPSE GLASSES along or any device that allows you to SAFELY watch the eclipse!!!!
I am hoping to secure the nearby shelter, but that is not possible in North Tonawanda until February. Any updates to this page will occur at that time.
Additional plans may unfold! Snacks?

An extraordinary announcement!
The North Tonawanda Parks and Recreation Department has decided to host a huge event in the same park as I was hoping to rent a pavilion! Therefore, I will be unable to rent the pavilion, but will still host a meet and greet at the posted coordinates.
Lots of strings attached here, so keep reading!
From noon until 6:00 that day, there will be food trucks, live music, a kid zone, a beer tent, vendors, fireman's chowder sale... And it appears there will be more to come.
Here comes the big wrench in the event. You will need to purchase a pass in order to be allowed into the park. There will be three levels of a pass to purchase:
VIP - $25.00
Family - $15.00
General - $10.00
You would need to visit this website in order to purchase a pass, and the confirmation would be sent to you.

The VIP allows for parking on site. Family and General allow for parking a short distance away with a shuttle running all day.
I have purchased a General pass which allows up to four (4) people. That being said if anyone would like to join me, they could meet at my home and carpool with me. I could take three (3) extra people and no cost to you. Please let me know of your intentions, first three (3) to respond will be in!
As you can imagine I have mixed emotions about this, but I am putting it out there for you to decide. There is no other park that I can rent at this time.
I am attaching a copy of their flyer and I will update the event page.
