Saugerties abandons horses for lighthouses

It's only January, but already summer plans to line the streets of local towns with gaudily-painted sculpture art are afoot.

Most towns will likely remain bound by tradition. In Catskill, as far as we know, the theme of the public scuptures will still be cats.  In Windham, the statues on every street corner will probably still be Rip Van Winkles.

But this summer, Saugerties, which littered its streets with horses last year, has decided to switch things up. With lighthouses. So take a last look at the above horse, artist Christine Moss's "Celestial Celebration," before saying goodbye to "Hors'n Around Saugerties" and hello to "Shine on Saugerties."
