Anything sun, moon, or space themed would work, but these are some quick and easy treats to pick up and enjoy:
- Sun Chips
- Milky Way
- Capri Sun
- Starbursts
- Eclipse Gum
- Moon Pie
- Starry
- Sonic Blackout Slush Float
The eclipse will start in the Hub City at 12:18 p.m., reaching maximum coverage at 1:35 p.m. It will then slowly lose coverage until the eclipse completely ends at 2:55 p.m.
The next Eclipse like this one wont happen for another 20+ years, so this is a great chance to see something you don't typically experience.
If you don't have eclipse glasses, you might be able to run to one of the following places and grab a pair, but many are likely already sold out.
- The Science Spectrum is having a viewing party at 2579 S. Loop 289 and are selling glasses for $2.99 a pair in their gift shop
- H-E-B located at 4405 114th Street is selling eclipse glasses
- Home Depot is selling eclipse glasses by the self-checkout register
- United Supermarkets will sell eclipse glasses at all its stores retailing for $2
