The Great Ice Cream Debate

/

We've made Stewart's Ice Cream converts of every single house guest that we've hosted in Schroon Lake. They all agree that it's addictively good deliciousness is fantastic for the taste buds, but a killer on the waist line.

In fact we almost had to have an intervention with one guest who went there every day (yes Steve Kushner, we are talking about you!). But the one thing we cannot agree on is what's the best flavor. We are happy to report that Stewart's have answered the question for us (The most popular flavor also happens to be my favorite!)

Schroon Lake Locals Rock

/

 

At the last open mic at Witherbee's we were gobsmacked by the talent that this Thursday evening tradition attracts. Under the guidance of Mark Piper, who did a full hour himself, we heard a variety of performers play country, rock and a bit of blue grass. We also heard a very cool version of Aerosmith's "Dream On", performed by 15-year-old Erin Milsom. Erin was making her debut and she totally rocked it! She also performed the Rufus Wainwright song "Hallelujah", accompanied by her mom, Lesa Milsom.

There's a really nice vibe in the room (It's the upstairs bar area) and you feel like you are part of an intimate family gathering. Erin won't be there tonight  -- she's in Appalachia on a church a service project -- but we hear she will be back in August.

Thursdays. Witherbee's Carriage House, Route 9, 6 pm.
