Since 1925, one of York county's most treasured traditions has been the New York Wire Co.'s annual steam whistle Christmas concert. (Not to be forgotten: The steam whistle played an integral role in the civilian defense alert system during World War II.)
Unfortunately, the boiler that produces the steam recently failed and is in need of repair. You can contribute by donating to:
Steam Whistle Concert Fund
c/o PeoplesBank
48 E. Market St.
York, PA 17401
The whistle is scheduled to play Christmas 2009 at 12:15 AM for 30 minutes, possibly for the last time.
