It's the pop-ups that won't go away that set me off.

So how did the eclipse MTFCA event turn out. It was advertised on the website for a good while. Any updated?

It was very successful. Staff did a wonderful job of organizing the event. We had folks from as far away as Alabama, Tennessee, and Canada. We had very clear skies, and a great view of the eclipse. It was rather eerie as all the street lights, and other outside lights turned on as darkness fell.

We are looking forward to another successful homecoming, May 29th through June first. Please remember to pre-register for the tours or a swap meet space by calling the front office sometime soon.

The image is called a Pop-Up. You may get similar from a merchandise website offering a discount, survey, to subscribe, set up cookies etc. Clicking on the X in the corner of the image will make them disappear. There is also a way to "block" them in your Browser but really not worth it.

I never saw the pop up.

My browser takes me directly to the General Discussion Forum. No need to go to the home page. It's all in how you set up your "favorites" or "bookmarks" in your browser.

I just clicked the X on the corner and it disappeared. Most any page of advertising or etc “pop up” has one. Since this conservation is about pop ups this would be a good way for swap meet reminders for each month. They would up easily seen at the first and once you see them hit the X and go on. It’s as simple as that. X marks the spot!
