CARTERVILLE, IL (KFVS-TV Heartland Weekend.  Please click on the link for the full story and video.  Here is an excerpt below.)

The Heartland will be treated to a total solar eclipse on Aug. 21.

That means hundreds of thousands of people will visit the area for this rare event.

You may want to celebrate at Moonstock 2017, hosted at Walker’s Bluff Winery in Carterville.

But before you rock out, the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office encourages you to follow these steps.

Traffic is expected to be heavy all weekend. Visitors may start arriving as early as Thursday evening. Be prepared to be patient and courteous.

Think about putting drinking water and even snacks in the vehicle if you’re planning a trip. Traffic delays may come up unexpectedly and be lengthy. Interstates and State Routes will be congested.

If you encounter stopped traffic please be patient, and please keep the shoulders clear. Emergency vehicles will need to use the shoulders to get to whatever problem is causing the delay.
