Annular Solar Eclipse
Occurs Sunday, May 20, 2012
6:33 PM – 8:37 PM

An annular eclipse of the sun on May 20, 2012 is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses Earth's northern Hemisphere. Kanarraville, Utah lies in the center path, creating a “Sweet Spot” for viewing this unique event.

You’re invited to celebrate this rare opportunity to view this amazing eclipse. What better spot to be than right on the center line in the “Sweet Spot" of Kanarraville. This is chance to discover a part of Scenic Southern Utah that you may not be familiar with already.

The eclipse will take place in the evening on Sunday, May 20. On Saturday, May 19 attend the “Eclipse Extravaganza” in Cedar City.

NASA has identified Kanarraville, Utah to be right on the center line of the May 20, 2012 Annular Solar Eclipse. Kanarraville has been dubbed the “Sweet Spot” and after visiting, you’ll see why. Not only is Kanarraville right on the centerline for the eclipse, Kanarraville is a sweet little town with a charm all its own. Located just south of Cedar City, with easy access to Interstate 15, Kanarraville’s prime location on the center line will be the “Sweet Spot” on May 20th.

JOIN THE FUN IN KANARRAVILLE - Several locations with clear line of sight viewing will be available in the town of Kanarraville with the main viewing location field just off Spring Creek Road. Come join the fun - bring your camp chairs, blankets and telescopes if you choose. Once the Spring Creek site is full, there will be plenty of shoulder parking on Old Highway 91 throughout Kanarraville to remain in “Sweet Spot”.

At the Spring Creek Road location there will be vendors offering food, beverages, tee-shirts and other goodies. Southern Utah University Associate Professor Brent Sorenson will be at this location and is willing to share several telescopes with attendees who may not have their own. There will also be portable “facilities”, a.k.a., port-a-potties.
