For those trying to get ahold of solar viewing glasses as the once-in-a-lifetime solar eclipse approaches on April 8, Penn Dixie Fossil and Nature Preserve in Blasdell is teaming up with Plantasia to offer free glasses at an upcoming garden and landscape show.
A single pair of the eclipse viewing glasses will be made available to each of the first 500 visitors who attend each day of the Plantasia show from March 14 to 17 at The Fairgrounds Event Center in Hamburg.
The glasses, when used properly, will allow for safe viewing of the eclipse. They were purchased and donated to Penn Dixie in preparation for the eclipse.
Plantasia, billed as “WNY’s Premier Garden & Landscape Show,” will feature blooming gardens, a garden market, seminars, a children’s garden and other attractions.
