The St. Joseph Convention and Visitors Bureau is asking for help distributing eclipse guides ahead of an anticipated influx of people to the area.

Beth Conway, Dir. of Communications with CVB said with four days until the Total Solar Eclipse there were still around 300 cases of eclipse guides with 50 in a case left to distribute.

“There are thousands and thousands of people coming from everywhere so basically we’re asking for help from our community,” Conway said. “We’d really like help getting these visitors guides out to the public.”

She said they can be picked up at no cost at CVB locations at 104 S. 4th street or 502 Woodbine.

“Especially business owners, if you’ve got a place that visitors are going to be coming into, restaurants, hotels, shopping centers,” Conway said. “It talks mostly about the eclipse and all the events going on in St. Joseph during the eclipse, but it also has general information in it about lodging, about parks, about all of our great museums. It also has a map in the center of it.”

Around 75,000 guides have already been distributed. To view the digital guide CLICK HERE. For more information on the guides contact the CVB at (816) 233-6688.
