A LIGHT ON POINT ARENA LIGHT STATION
Lighthouse Recognized as Finalist
for JELD-WEN’s Historic Restoration Program
WHAT: The
tallest lighthouse tower on the West Coast, Point Arena Light Station is a finalist
in a coast-to-coast search for lighthouses in need of restoration. Built in
1870 to serve as a navigational aid to a hazardous peninsula following the boom
of the Gold Rush Days, Point Arena is one of 12 finalists with the opportunity
to win JELD-WEN’s Reliable Lighthouse Restoration Initiative. To increase its
chances to win, Point Arena Light Station needs local community support as the
decision deadline is quickly approaching.
WHEN: Public
voting will take place on www.jeld-wen.com/lighthouse
through September 7. Fans of Point Arena Light Station are encouraged to cast a
vote, as well as share photography and videos to show support. Public support
will help JELD-WEN determine which of the lighthouse finalists will ultimately
receive new JELD-WEN windows and doors, designed to withstand the harsh coastal
conditions Point Arena Light Station endures every day.
WHERE: Each
person may cast one vote for Point Arena at www.jeld-wen.com/lighthouse.
Photos can be shared on the Flickr group of JELD-WEN Reliable
Lighthouse Restoration Initiative. To share videos that will be posted
online, please send 1-2 minute VHS tapes, DVDs or electronic viewing files to:
