“The Hardin County Fairgrounds is the designated viewing location for Hardin County,” said Brad Murphy, President of the Hardin County Fair Board. “When Invenergy reached out, we were excited to form a partnership with some local food vendors to provide the community with a few of their favorite fair foods.”

The community is encouraged to support these Hardin County small businesses and enjoy their favorite fair goods leading up to the eclipse with regular sales starting on Friday, April 5, 2024, from 4-7 pm and remaining open Saturday, April 6th from 11 am – 7 pm, and Sunday, April 7th, from noon – 7 pm in addition to the Monday timeframe.
