LITCHFIELD - The Litchfield Skyview Drive-In will host an eclipse viewing party on Monday, April 8, 2024, complete with live music, comedians, a raffle and more. Attendees can enjoy vendors, games, a photo booth and other attractions throughout the day starting at 11 a.m. on April 8. The eclipse will be visible around 2 p.m. that day, with almost 100% totality visible in Litchfield. “We’re super excited. We know we’re not 100% in the eclipse, but we’re at 98.2%, so we’ll still get a very good show of the eclipse,” said Skyview owner Chelsey Semplowski. “The drive-in is a very special place. We’re the last original drive-in on Old Route 66, so we just want to make sure that we’re around for as long as possible. Visiting the concession stand and coming out for stuff like this helps us to be able to keep the drive-in operating and functional.” Tickets cost $40 until March 1, 2024, when they increase to $50.

Additionally, they urged the White House to support these efforts to protect the nation’s most heat-vulnerable workers. “Climate change increases the severity of extreme heat, particularly in Illinois for our farmers and construction workers,”
