Historic Beacon Lighting At Split Rock Lighthouse

(Two Harbors, MN)  --  This is a very big weekend on Minnesota's North Shore.  Big crowds are in Duluth to see the nine tall sailing ships.  And many folks are heading farther up the coast for tomorrow night's big event at Split Rock Lighthouse.  Manager Lee Radzak says keeper Pete Young made history when he lit the beacon on July 31st, 1910.  Radzak says they will light the beacon tomorrow night at sunset - and keep it glowing for an hour.  Hundreds are expected for the historic lighting.  Special events marking Split Rock's 100th birthday continue through the fall.
