JELL-O SHOTS ARE BANNED AT BARS AND RESTAURANTS IN NEW YORK STATE

The hype is real for the eclipse. There are so many parties which is forcing businesses and schools to shut down.

Wegmans stores in New York State and some in PA will actually be closed for a little bit on April 8, 2024. They are going to let employees go outside and see the historic event, therefore there will be no shopping for 30 minutes from 3 PM to 3:30 on that day.

Fingers crossed that it is a clear day so that we can see the eclipse happen. Regardless if it is cloudy or not, it is still going to get dark.
