Courts in Allen County to close for April 8 eclipse

LIMA — Judges of the Allen County Court of Common Pleas and Probate/Juvenile Courts, as well as the Lima Municipal Court, have opted to close their respective offices on Monday, April 8, due to an expected influx of people into the county that day for the total solar eclipse.
