From Dallas Morning News, May 15, 1994, Weathervane column:

Workers at The Science Place in Fair Park were perplexed by several 
inquiries in the days before Tuesday's solar eclipse. Some callers 
found the timing inconvenient and wanted to know why the museum hadn't 
scheduled the event for a weekend so more people could attend. Others 
wondered if there was a rain date for eclipse-watching activities. 
Texas' next major solar eclipse should be more accomodating - May 20, 
2012, comes on a Sunday.
