The Day the Moon Shines Brightest

The second solar eclipse in recent history will be visible to a large population of the United States, Mexico, and Canada on Monday, April 8, 2024.

Folks around the country will be gathering to witness this natural phenomenon, and of course, you can’t have an eclipse party without MOONpies!

“For just the 2nd time in seven years, day will suddenly become night for a few brief, wondrous minutes as the orbiting moon blocks the sun’s light along a southwest-to-northeast path across the continent,” says a recent USA Today article, linked below.

Since it is the day that the “moon wins,” it’s only appropriate that the party include some MOONPies.
