The eclipse will begin locally at about 2:08 p.m. Monday, April 8. Totality 鈥� when the moon's shadow fully covers the sun 鈥� will begin at about 3:21 p.m. As the northernmost area of the county, Fair Haven will experience the longest period of totality that afternoon, at about three minutes and 22 seconds, compared to two minutes or less in areas to the south.

Total solar eclipses can attract 鈥�umbraphiles,鈥� or 鈥渟hadow lovers,鈥� from around the world. In August 2017, South Carolina $269 million in economic impact at hotels, restaurants and more from an eclipse whose path of totality crossed the Columbia area. Now, Fair Haven is anticipating a boon of its own, according to several business owners there who spoke with 水果派AV.

鈥淭he boots are on the ground," said Brian DiBernardo, owner and manager of Turtle Cove Resort & Marina and director of the Fair Haven Chamber of Commerce.聽

"We're anticipating a huge turnout," he continued. "Everything in the surrounding area is full."聽

Tim Lowden, owner of Pleasant Beach Hotel, said his 10 rooms are booked for the eclipse and his only qualm about the event is that he'll be out of town that afternoon.

水果派AV also tried booking hotel rooms online for April 7 and April 8 in Fair Haven, and all of them were full.

As of Wednesday morning only two of about 15 nearby stays were available on Airbnb, a $235-a-night room and a $47 barn stay. No properties were available on fellow short-term rental platform Vrbo.聽

DiBernardo said he has a couple rooms he could open, and is considering it as April 8 approaches. The total solar eclipse will take place as the village's businesses gear up for their busy season.

Fair Haven is a popular place during those warmer months, DiBernardo continued, so its business owners are used to being busy.

鈥淲e鈥檙e equating this to the Fourth of July. It could rival that weekend," he said. "(The solar eclipse) will jumpstart our season."聽

Plenty of local activities will accompany the once-in-a-lifetime event. Colloca Estate Winery in Sterling will host a聽 from noon to 5 p.m. that day with picnic-style food, live music by '80s cover band The Arcade, arts and crafts vendors, and more. Admission is $10 in advance and $20 the day of the event, and includes eclipse viewing glasses.

Colloca General Manager Monica Canale said the event will give attendees a great view of the eclipse 鈥� and will give the bayside winery a great opportunity to welcome many first-time visitors.聽

Canale said Colloca is not raising prices despite the popularity of the eclipse, and neither is the Little Sodus Inn. Manager Lisa Evankovich is also excited about first-time visitors to Fair Haven.聽

鈥淚t鈥檚 great notoriety,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a great area with plenty of things to do.鈥�

Evankovich said the Little Sodus Inn will offer can and cocktail specials that day, including free viewing glasses with the latter. Hamburgers, hot dogs and picnic fare will be served as well.

At Fair Haven Beach State Park, the gates will open for eclipse viewers at an early 8 a.m. April 8.

Although the park's 219 camping spots are filled for that day, the park will host a day of family-friendly events, including activities and discussions with staff from the Sciencenter in Ithaca.
