Credit for this idea goes to our friend, Jim Carruthers, who you can meet working behind our bar from time to time. Well it turns out that he was up in Long Island NY one cold December day and ran into a rather interesting event in downtown Northport, NY. As the story goes, in December 2005, Northport Hardware decided to put a Leg Lamp in their front window and perform a lighting ceremony. The first year it was informal and only a handful of people were there. The following year, about 20 people turned out , but as word spread, attendance began to boom and it became tradition! Today the event attracts over 1000 people including bagpipers and Rockettes. Check out the videos below of the event.This event will coincide with our winter warmer beer release, appropriately named "Notafingah"! All are encouraged to dress-up as your favorite “A Christmas Story” character. So, we expect to see a the deranged Easter bunny, the old man, Ralphie and Scut Farkus! Of course the night wouldn’t be complete until someone sticks their tongue to the light pole out front as long as it's cold enough
Schedule:
Notafingah will be tapped 5pm
Lighting of the leg: 7pm
Get here by 6:45 if you'd like to see the lighting
