The Great American Solar Eclipse is Oct. 14 and White Pine County is in the path of totality for a perfect “Ring of Fire”! Be here for our Ring of Fire Eclipse Festival!
An annular solar eclipse is when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth. Such an eclipse raced across the western U.S. back in 2012. This year, the path for a perfect “Ring of Fire” is here in White Pine County.
The entire county is getting involved for our Ring of Fire Festival! It’s an all-hands-on-deck celebration from Schellbourne to Baker.
