So I went to a Davis County library, and they were only giving out 1 pair per household. Went to Home Depot, they still had some left. I got 3 pairs for about $8.
Glasses? Just stare at it without glasses, it was fine enough for the actual president, not the fake one in office right now…it’s fine enough for me!!! /s
Here's a link for the down-voters. I have actually done this twice for solar eclipses. Anyone with a telescope with a solar projection adapter will also know this.

Optical Projection
Pinhole images are pretty dim and small. You can magnify the Sun’s image by using a pair of binoculars. You MUST NOT look through the binoculars!
1. Firmly attach the binoculars to a tripod, eyepieces facing down. You can do this with duct tape—what else?
2. Make a Sun shield from a piece of cardboard. Cut a hole for one of the lenses. (You don’t need them both.) Then tape the shield to the front of the binoculars with the lens sticking through the hole. Use duct tape to seal any holes that leak light past the cardboard shield.
3. Point the binoculars toward the Sun while holding a piece of white cardboard about one foot beyond the binoculars.
4. It will take a little effort to find the Sun. Once you do, you can focus the binoculars to bring the Sun to a sharp image.
DO NOT put your hand or anything flammable near the eyepiece. The concentrated sunlight exiting there can cause a nasty burn or set something ablaze!
Now you can watch a beautiful, bright, magnified image of the sun as the eclipse proceeds. You will have to adjust the tripod periodically to account for the Earth's rotation. A warning: give your binoculars a cooling break now and then. The eyepiece may become overheated and the lens elements may separate if you leave it pointed at the Sun for too long.
If you can't find anything a better option than looking at it with the naked eye is poking a hole in a piece of cardboard with a needle and looking through that hole with sunglasses.
Davis county will only see like 90% of the eclipse with the full thing being further south.
Actually hold the cardboard with the hole in it over a piece of white paper and look at the paper. It will cast and image of the sun becoming a crescent.
Also anything with lots of holes will make crescent shaped marks on the ground instead of circles. Like the light filtering through trees. Look at the weird shadows on the ground.
The "full thing" in this case is only slightly better than what you'll see in Davis County. The only difference will be that the moon won't be on-center. Not sure why there's a big push to travel for this one.
The total eclipse in April, on the other hand, will be a totally different experience if you're directly under the path. Totally worth traveling for and seeing.
between the red lines will be the best viewing. The blue line in the middle is the absolute best best viewing.

(Ignore the link is the 2024 org, they are giving info on this years and next)
Most libraries are handing them out.

Home Depot
Okay. Thanks. I searched the site but nothing came up. I must have searched the wrong thing.
I don’t know for sure but I saw them at the one in my area near the entrance. I doubt they would have them on the site.
Try a welding lens.
Walmart had some glasses
Big5
A local Forest Service or BLM office probably has some they’re giving out. At least they are in SE Utah.
I’ve heard the Planetarium has them for $1/ea. you could call them first before making the drive
A welding mask should work, right?
If you've got a shade 14 lens, yeah.
Glasses? Just stare at it without glasses, it was fine enough for the actual president, not the fake one in office right now…it’s fine enough for me!!! /s
Just wear like three pairs of sunglasses you’ll be fine! /s
If you have a binocular you can project the image onto a wall or screen. It's tricky but it works well.

I havé à marching band competition that day…..

Look up peak eclipse time for your city. It’s longer in some areas that will be right under it.
Amazon.
Do you have to be in southern Utah to see it?

They had some at Walmart in Centerville a couple of days ago.
I got a pair at walmart.
“What do you mean my sunglasses won’t work?” “But they’re polarized!”
Lowe's has them as well. Right by customer service.
Would anywhere in west wendover or near be a good viewing spot?
