Beth Meyer at the Fishers Library knew they had something big on their hands when phone calls flooded their phone lines asking about the eclipse event at the downtown Fishers Amphitheater during the morning hours before the afternoon eclipse.  The crowd on hand exceeded any forecasts as the city and library partnered for a community gathering.
