The Putnam County Regional Airport could be very busy next month as Putnam County prepares for the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8.
Doug Miller, airport manager of the Putnam County Regional Airport, told The Putnam County Post that due to the time of the year and possible ground conditions, the airport will only be able to park cars in the parking lots.
"We only have about 75 spots available. We are mainly trying to accommodate the possibility of the large amounts of aircraft that might arrive," Miller said.
With that said, those wishing to watch the eclipse at the airport are asked to bring their chairs and blankets, and protective eyewear will be available while supplies last.
In addition, Figgy's Follies will be serving as DJ, and there will be food on hand from Wally's food truck, Final Approach Restaurant and Geno's Kettle Corn.
For more information on the event, contact Miller at 765-721-1289.
