100,000 EXPECTED IN WAYNE COUNTY FOR ECLIPSE

(Wayne County, IN)--Wayne County’s Tourism Bureau is beginning to put numbers on the estimated amount of visitors that will show up in Wayne County for the total solar eclipse, which is now just under a year away.  That number, which comes in part by analysis from Purdue University, is 100,000 people.  Wayne County will be in a path where the totality with the eclipse will last the longest – about four minutes.  Local communities are beginning to develop marketing strategies, including a Wayne County eclipse logo.
