Sunday is going to reach almost 50! What are your weekend plans? Tell us in comments.
If you think March is one of the quieter months in Schroon – think again – there’s a ton of activities up for grabs, just check out our CALENDAR section.
On Saturday night at Timberwolf’s Pub it's Open Mic Night, hosted by the one and only Vincent Cangelosi Haley. It’s always a rockin’ and fun filled event. The night kicks off at 8pm and there are always drink specials.
And there's always the Witherbee's Open Mic Night every Thursday night.
Keep an eye out on the lake in the weeks ahead for the Lion's Ice Out Robot to make an appearance. Last year the ice went out on March 20, 2012 @ 3:50PM.
Schroon Laker, mother, farmer, runner, flash mob instigator, and all around fitness guru Anna Hay (in the middle) is enthusiastic about everything she does!
And the latest chapters in that God blessed life have ranged from a massive weight loss, to her new gig: becoming a certified Zumba instructor. Now Anna has recently been certified to teach a special type of Zumba. It's for Baby Boomers, and its known as Zumba Gold.
Zumba Gold takes the fast paced Zumba formula and slightly modifies the moves and pacing for the 'boomer set.
What stays the same, says Anna, are all the elements the Zumba fitness party is known for: the zesty Latin music of salsa, merengue, cumbia and reggaeton, the exhilarating, easy-to-follow moves and the invigorating, party-like atmosphere. Hee Haw!
Anna says it’s the perfect fit for active older adults who want camaraderie, excitement and fitness on a regular basis.
The $2,162,656 million grant from New York State to Schroon to ensure everyone has access to broadband, will be a huge boost to the local economy, revolutionize the lives of many people, as well as firmly cement Schroon’s future growth.
That’s the opinion of Broadband Committee member Joe Steiniger and Councilman Roger Friedman, who are intimately familiar with Schroon’s efforts to land the grant.
The grant also includes a free wi-fi hot spot at the Town Beach.
“I was elated when I heard the news,” Steiniger told us.
“It's transformative for the community. From an economic stand point the future of the Adirondack Park hinges on broadband availability.”
Friedman was still a little stunned when we caught up with him.
“When you compare our grant to the entire state of New York, and the pot being 25 million, holy mackerel, it's unbelievable,” he said.
The grant will provide high-speed low cost broadband to 457 homes in the areas of Charley Hill, Hoffman and Paradox. Under the grant each of the homes will have fiber optic cable supplied from an outside power pole directly to the home.
