The Hudson Valley has been buzzing over the upcoming solar eclipse, enough so that even solar eclipse glasses are being distributed in Poughkeepsie this week. There are a lot of Burger King locations all over the Hudson Valley area, and many hungry fans will be wanting to get their hands on a free Whopper during this special promotion.

Although the Hudson Valley isn't in the direct path for totality, it will still be an amazing event as the moon will block about 95% of the sun. And even though the event will last maybe 4 minutes, the free Whoppers at Burger King will last all day and beyond.
