Tuesday night’s snow was surely welcomed by the riders participating in this weekend’s Schroon-North  Hudson Snowmobile Club’s Annual Poker Run.

In previous years Mother Nature has not been kind to the event -- with riders confronted by large sections of exposed rocks -- but organizer Dwayne Anderson hopes this year’s Run will be different.

“The more snow we get the better,” Dwayne told Schroon Laker.

Dwayne said this year’s run goes as far north as Dave Whitty’s business on Route 74 to Pottersville to the south.

Snow Sculpture Contest on Ice

The first event of what was billed as Schroon Lake’s first ever Winterevent – a snow sculpting contest this Friday --  has been canceled after Joanie Cunningham, the organizer of the event, was hospitalized.

Joanie, who returned to full health this past January, after bravely battling a mysterious, undiagnosed disease which has hospitalized her for many months over the last three years, is currently receiving treatment at Albany Medical, her husband Greg told Schroon Laker Tuesday.

“We are disappointed, but we need to move the contest until March, while Joanie makes a full recovery,” Greg told us.

The snow sculpting contest, which was to have taken place in the Town Park near the Fountain, will now be held on March 9, the weekend after Schroon’s Annual Ice Fishing Tournament.
