To All, due to the continuing threat from the COVID-19 Pandemic and the delayed administration of the vaccine, the Town Tinker Tube Rental will not be open for the 2021 season. With no timeline as to when things will return to normal, there is no way for us to meet gathering criteria, social distancing guidelines, and disinfection requirements. It is our decision to help protect you, our customers, ourselves, and our Community of Shandaken from the continued possibility of infection. Be Healthy and Stay Safe.

To All, The decision not to open for 2020 was not an easy one. As well as not knowing when the present NYS restrictions would be lifted, the Town Tinker is a Non-essential business. There would also be no way to meet gathering criteria, and/or social distancing guidelines. Ultimately we felt it was of premier importance to protect you, our customers, ourselves, and our Community of Shandaken from the possibility of infection from the Corona Virus. Be Healthy and Stay Safe.
