Town
of Callicoon - Sullivan County - New York
This wonderful community is rich in history and
spirit. What other town east of the Colorado River sets out
luminaries along its roads on Christmas Eve, originating a local
tradition that now winds over snowy hill and moon-pierced dale
through several neighboring towns for some twenty miles? The past
also lives on in Jeffersonville's own Thanksgiving Day Parade, in
the active cider mill in North Branch, and in the popular bandstand
concerts of the Callicoon Center Band, now about to enter upon its
third half century of existence. On the other hand, what could be
more of our times than the public radio station that runs on its own
hydropower plant? The present also is alive and well in the public
library, supermarket, and several restaurants. The future has begun
with construction of a new recreational park, and is being placed in
the hands of internationally selected young pianists who train at
the Shandelee Music Festival every summer. |
