STAMFORD — Mt Utsayantha Fire Tower will be participating in the 12th Annual NYS Forest Fire Lookout Association's statewide event. The tower will be illuminated on Saturday, August 30th from 8:30 to 9:30pm. Rain date will be Sunday, Aug. 31st. The tower lighting will be visible from several areas along State Route 23 between Stamford and Grand Gorge , Harpersfield, and route 10 between Stamford and Hobart.
The tower and park will be closed during the lighting , as the idea is for everyone to view from the surrounding areas. This event was started as a way of honoring the past tower observers for their service in keeping our rural areas safe.
Also included is the 2nd Annual Catskills Junction Mt U Tower Lighting and Camp Fire sing along with area musicians. The Shop will be open for extended shopping hours.
A fun event promoting the history and preservation of our NYS Fire Towers. Don't forget your flashlights, lights, etc. We will be watching from the tower and signaling back! We would like to thank the Stamford Village and Mayor for allowing us to celebrate our area's history. Your continued support is appreciated! This year's illuminators will be Will and Brandy Reed of Harpersfield.
