York County Steam Whistle Concert - "Silent Night"

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:

@altlandf If you read anything about the whistle concert, you'd know the money for this comes from the York factory whistle endowment which is collected entirely from donations. So this isn't a waste of money, it's people giving money to a charity to keep the tradition alive. You need to relax and let people enjoy their Christmas traditions. And if you don't like it, not only do you not have to watch it on YouTube, you don't even have to attend the concert. And if you don't even like hearing it

This is nothing more than disorderly conduct. Look it up. 713.01 disorderly conduct. 714.04 Prohibited Acts; violations. Where's all the people what a fucken waste of money. With the bad times we have and they have to waste money on that pinhead Don Ryan. Where do they get 1925 at? This idiot started this in 1955. Time to make sure this doesn't happen again.

How was this silent night? It's just a bunch of annoying noise. Play it during the day like it used to be.
