WESTFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) – Our team coverage on the eclipse continues in Westfield where an eclipse watch party was underway.

Western Mass News was on the front field over at Westfield High School where the Space and Astronomy Club held a viewing event for students and community members.

Now, it really was a party here at Westfield High School, people brought their picnic blankets and outdoor chairs all to view the eclipse in Westfield.

We spoke with some students who told us what got them so excited to see the eclipse!

“Defintiely the peak and also just seeing outside it kept getting progressively darker and darker throughout the eclipse,” expressed Mirabella Prefontaine.

“I just wanted to make sure that no one gets vision loss,” said Andy Liu “That was one of my main concerns because we’re not in the path of totality so no one could really take off their glasses during the eclipse.”
