Jerry’s brother Michael O. Smith designed a special QSL card for us to use for the event. See his artwork below.
This is the same weekend as the Pescadero Arts and Fun Festival, and we’ll have communications set up between the two events on CMD33. Please visit our booth at PAFF and then visit the Lighthouse and get on the air for a while.
In addition, State Parks is also holding special events on the 16th from 12:00pm-4:00pm. They welcome visitors to their Victorian crafts and games, Victorian Days History Walk at 2pm, and see the progress on the lighthouse restoration. See Pigeon Point’s website for more info.
August is full of reasons to celebrate Pigeon Point: San Mateo County Victorian Days, National Lighthouse Day, and International Lighthouse-Lightship Weekend! Join us at 2:00pm for a Victorian Days History Tour of the lighthouse grounds. Participate in games and crafts that lightkeepers’ families would have entertained themselves with in the 19th century. Finally, lighthouses and lightships all over the world will connect on radio this weekend. The La Honda Radio Club will be at Pigeon Point giving us the opportunity to talk to other lighthouses!
This event is made possibly by Coastside State Parks Association, San Mateo County Historical Association, La Honda SC4 Amateur Radio Club, and Hostelling International USA.
