A reminder that today is a special birthday for a musical structure in Jefferson.

The Mahanay Memorial Carillon Tower is celebrating its 55th birthday with a live concert by  local Mahanay Maestro Sheryl Sloan today from 12:15-12:30pm. Additionally, the Bell Tower Community Foundation will hand out birthday treats and a penny for the penny souvenir press to the first 55 in person listeners.

Another reminder that the bell tower is open for three more weekends in October from 10am-4pm Saturdays and Sundays. Individuals who are 18 and younger are free to visit the tower, due to the sponsorship of the Jefferson Rotary Club and adult admission is $3.
