MOST VISITORS WILL HAVE TO ARRIVE MONDAY IF ECLIPSE PREDICTIONS ARE TO BE MET

(Wayne County, IN)--In the last year, many local officials had predicted up to 100,000 visitors would descend on Wayne County for Monday’s eclipse.  Some are wondering, though, if that estimate will pan out based on what they experienced over the weekend.  At the Wayne County Fairgrounds Sunday, scheduled performances by some bands were cancelled.  The organizer, who is not associated with the Fairgrounds, notified bands early Sunday morning that poor attendance would prevent the bands from being paid.  Attendance at another popular spot just off of I-70 in Wayne County Sunday afternoon was no heavier than on any other Sunday.  The Richmond Farmer’s Market, though, did report heavier-than-normal attendance with lots of out-of-state license plates Uptown.  Richmond hotels Sunday night remained booked and did not report a significant number of cancellations.
