On August 21, 2017, millions of people across the United
States will see nature's most amazing spectacle—a total eclipse
of the Sun, and one of the best places to view this miraculous
moment is in the town of John Day in Grant County. “The
county has a population of fewer than 8,000 people and we are
expecting up to 50,000 visitors, so it will be a huge event,” said
Chamber Manager, Tammy Bremner.
“We can offer dark skies at night and bright-blue skies during
the day so, weather-wise at that time of the year, this will be one
of the best viewing spots in the northwest. All accommodations
are booked and people began making reservations starting in
2011, and we’re now scouting areas where people can camp.”
The area offers visitors great fishing and bicycle riding, and
the Chamber is planning activities such as 5K fun runs, music
and movies on the green and a professor from Mount Palomar
College will provide educational presentations. For more
eclipse information, go to: www.greatamericaneclipse.com
Hours: 9:00 a.m. to noon, and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. During the
summer months the Chamber is open seven days a week.
