Attendees came from near and as far away as Idaho to experience the total eclipse. St. Mark\u2019s and Collin\u2019s donated all the picnic food, supplies and games as part of their community outreach to benefit the local shelters. Over 450 people were served lunch, donating over $2,000 for the picnic lunches. The fun packed afternoon also included WPTA Channel 21 Chief Meteorologist Matt Leach, who shared his knowledge all things solar eclipse. Pictured are Jimmy Collins from Collins Fine Foods, Jamie Ramos from Haven Hope Men\u2019s Shelter, Kathy Taylor from The House of Transition, and Pastor Will Haggis from St. Mark\u2019s.
