The Hill country was almost ground zero for both an annular eclipse and a total solar eclipse within the 6 months spanning October ’23 to April ’24. Joe and Maureen opened their estate up to Club members and Cordillera residents to enjoy food, drink and the solar festivities. Estimates are that approximately 170 people attended the two events. “Something for everyone”
