MARBLE FALLS, Texas (KXAN) — One store in Marble Falls is hoping to capitalize on the eclipse by making a whole series of eclipse-branded merchandise.
Kim Collins, owner of The Market Place, said with an event of this magnitude, people should make sure they’re ready.
The store has T-shirts, mugs, stickers and eclipse candles as part of the store’s preparations for the cosmic event, which happens in less than two weeks.
“We’re going to have these large groups of people coming in, so we need to be prepared,” Collins said. “They’re coming to buy stuff whether we like it or not, so we’ll embrace it.”
Marble Falls is right in the heart of the eclipse’s totality, meaning the town will spend more than four minutes in its shadow.
Other places around Central Texas, like Dripping Springs and Travis County, have issued disaster declarations for the day of the celestial event.
Before-and-after photographs taken along the path of the total solar eclipse in North America reveal the stunning, awe-inducing nature of the celestial phenomenon.
Last week, the UK announced its largest ever military support package for Ukraine. In fact, the London Defense Tech Hackathon was the first-ever event to bring together some of the UK's brightest minds in technology, venture capital, and national security in a military setting. The idea was to hack together ideas to both assist Ukraine and also to create a far more porous layer between the worlds of fast-paced civilian tech and the very different world of the military.
