My Column: State Line Hawk Watch

Remember, Sunday, Sept. 27, at 9 a.m., is the date and time for the new Pirie – Mayhood Tower dedication.
We have a beautiful plaque honoring both Rob Pirie, who built the original platform, and Charlie Mayhood, longtime friend of the Celery Farm.
Members of both families — including Rob himself and Charlie's sons from Ohio — are expected to attend the event, which will take place just after that Sunday's Hour on the Tower.
In lieu of dignitaries, we expect Stiles Thomas to participate in some way.
We hope you can attend, too.
Above are the before and after photos of the tower.
