Local artist Steve Adams braves the changeable March weather to ready downtown Spencer for what could be quite an influx of visitors for the total solar eclipse on April 8. Local residents will be familiar with Adams’s seasonal designs. This is the ninth time that Spencer Main Street, Inc., has engaged Adams and his abundant talents.
The first time was Christmas 2020 when, according to Spencer Main Street president Julie Coffin, “We felt that we needed to do something to lift people’s spirits during that difficult year. The idea was born, Adams was willing to make it a reality, and he has been beautifying and cheering up the whole town ever since.” Coffin noted that Spencer Main Street typically tosses an idea or a theme to Adams, and then, “He simply creates. And the result is always delightful."
Adams says that retirement now gives him the time to work on things he enjoys. All of Spencer—and all of our eclipse visitors—should be glad that the downtown windows are on the list of things he enjoys. Be sure to take a selfie by the solar eclipse selfie window so you’ll always remember where you were for the 2024 total solar eclipse!
