Schroon's Awesome Community Spirit
/Community spirit makes Schroon awesome. We’ve witnessed it time and again when we hear about neighbors helping neighbors. And that spirit is front and center again after a devastating fire destroyed livestock and a barn owned by John and Jen Otruba of Sugarbush Farms.
The outpouring of community spirit is simply stunning. Within hours of the February 28th fire, folks rallied around John and Jen and their kids offering any assistance they could. In the days that followed Shelby Davis, of Mr. P’s Mountain Smokehouse and Shelby's Kitchen Therapy fame, got a group together to organize a pot luck fund raiser.
And last weekend, Beti and Larry Spangel felled four pine trees on their property, which later became ninety-two twelve foot 2 x 6 boards, which will be used for the rebuilding of John and Jen’s Barn. You can read all about Beti and Larry’s adventures on her 30 Acre Wood Blog here.
And you can also read the heart felt remembrance of the loss the Otruba’s suffered that fateful day in a beautifully written piece by Jennifer on her blog, titled, "We Had A Fire Today”

So we lost an hour of sleep with day light savings -- but look at it this way, we get to spend an extra hour outside today.

Spring Break Party At Gore
/
On Saturday afternoon at Gore Mountain, it appeared that there were more folks on the sun deck than the slopes, as skiers took the opportunity to get a big dose of vitamin D, while enjoying a few amber ales and some barbecue under brilliant blue and sunny skies.
Folks had set up their own grills, enjoying a variety of sausages and burgers. There were long lines at the outdoor Open Pit Grille and an appreciative crowd at the Tannery Pub enjoying a local band, whose name we didn't catch.
