| The First Dam Show |
| Best Dam Show In Pennsylvania The Austin Dam Memorial Park was brought to life last fall with music, dance, beautifully designed t-shirts and artwork and an incredible light show. The setting was a show in itself. Mother Nature’s vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds of the season draped the narrow valley under sunny blue skies, while the dam grooved to the live rhythms of Hank Roberts and Wiggy Dog Boy, Cletus and the Barn Burners, Plastic Nebraska and the Sim Redmond Band, all critically acclaimed live bands from Ithaca, NY. Then as the sky darkened, Groovin’ Lumens, a professional lighting company from Honeoye Falls, NY, danced a kaleidoscope of colors and designs across the revitalized Dam as the music flowed through valley. The lighting company duo claims, “The Austin Dam is the best place we’ve ever done lights!” |
The Austin Drama Club with the guidance of
musicians from around the region and
Groovin’ Lumens energized the second
night with a variety show of music, dance
and lights. Warmed by the music and
campfires, the snuggled crowd blended
their harmonies in to their performance with
many sing-a-long tunes

Within the Dam spirit of the evening but on a mellower note, the Dam became the backdrop of a
video documentary explaining the history of the breaking of the Austin Dam and the resulting
flood that killed 78 in 1911. Chris Legarski of Montoursville, a long time admirer of the Austin
Dam Memorial Park, created the documentary as a senior project at the Penn College of
Technology at Williamsport.
