On July 19, the Town of Highland will sponsor the Eldred 250 Block Party as part of the America 250 celebration. The event will feature local food vendors, all-day games and activities, an interactive America Tribute, five live bands, and a spectacular America 250 techno light show finale. More than 100 everyday objects and personal mementos recovered from a 1976-time capsule buried in a beer keg at Minisink Battleground Park—including the Highland Lake Volunteer Fire Department badge shown here—will be on display at Highland Town Hall. During the celebration, visitors may also fill out cards to be included in the next time capsule, scheduled to be opened in 2076.
