State Representative Blaine Wilhour (R-Beecher City) is partnering with the Illinois Optometric Association to offer FREE safety sunglasses to residents of the 110th District in order to observe the total eclipse of the sun on April 8, 2024. One pair per person, while supplies last.
“I want to thank the Illinois Optometric Association for making these solar eclipse glasses available at no charge for the eye safety of Illinoisans,” commented Rep. Blaine Wilhour. “Please contact my district office if you would like to have a pair for yourself and your family.”
