J Bar Enterprises | April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse





On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible from North America, beginning in Mexico and ending in eastern Canada. This rare celestial event occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on the Earth’s surface.

For those in the Central Texas area, being in the path of totality means that they will have the opportunity to witness a rare and awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. During the eclipse, the sky will darken, the temperature will drop, and the stars will become visible in the middle of the day. The Moon will completely cover the Sun, creating a breathtaking sight that will last for a few minutes.



While this event is certainly exciting, it’s important to consider the logistics of planning a watch party. We know we all want to take advantage of our convenient placement in the path of totality along US 281 and utilize our property as the perfect viewing area, but there are some things to consider when planning that.

One crucial aspect that is often overlooked is the need for proper, sanitary restroom facilities. Homeowners, business owners, and visitors to the area will all require accessible sanitation facilities, especially during an event as crowded as a total solar eclipse. Our area is slated to have over 100,000 visitors over the course of a week – not just during the day on Monday, April 8. Parties are already being planned, lodging is already filling up, and hoards of families, enthusiasts and scientists will be heading our direction to experience the full effect of this rare event.





Having portable toilets available at the watch party location can ensure that everyone has access to clean, hygienic facilities. This can be especially important for families with young children, older adults, or those with medical conditions that require frequent bathroom breaks.

While the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 is an exciting event, it’s important to consider the practical aspects of planning a watch party. Having sanitary restrooms available can ensure that everyone has access to clean, hygienic facilities. We are so excited to share this exciting event with you! Let J Bar Enterprises help you prepare for the upcoming total solar eclipse by securing your sanitary restrooms today, before it is too late.

My name is Savanna Gregg, and I have been blessed with the task of writing blog posts for J Bar! I’ve grown my love for writing since I was a kid, inspired by my grandpa and great-grandma, and encouraged by my family to follow this passion wherever it leads me. I found a love for journalism in high school and participated in UIL competitions throughout that time. I was able to expand that experience into a career, working for the Burnet Bulletin Newspaper for just over two years before finding a new opportunity here at J Bar. I’ve always loved spreading the news to my community through social media, and am so glad to have been given the opportunity to continue that while providing services for our customers at the same time. I hope you enjoy learning more about our company!
