#TBT Throwback Thursday: The Unofficial Restoration Of The Dummy Light By Erica Hauser
/
This little bit of Beacon trivia for #TBT is courtesy of the yarnbombing incident, which inspired people to post memory photos of local artist, Erica Hauser, taking it upon herself to restore the Dummy Light down on the far East End of Main Street, across the street from 1 East Main. Erica serves on the board of BeaconArts, who has been an organization that attracts residents of Beacon to its board who take it upon themselves to improve their surroundings.
According to an article in Philipstown, Erica wrote to the City to ask about any restoration plans of the Dummy Light, but not much of a response was generated. So she got some paint and a safety vest and...painted it.
