Inaugural 2013 Band Jam

The first Boat House band Jam kicks off tonight, and we hear  there are a bunch of folks who can’t wait. Chief among them is organizer Jack Osborne, from the Schroon lake Arts Council, who sponsor the event each year.

Musicians from near and far – as well as music fans – gather every Monday night at 7pm at the Boat House on Dock Street, to jam their way through a fun Monday night.

There are only two rules – no amplified music and a promise that you’ll have some fun. Welcome back jack and everyone who’ll be in the stands and on the stage tonight.

She's A Beauty...

Hats off to the incredible work accomplished by The Schroon Lake Beautification Committee. One area where the committee has excelled is giving a dynamic makeover to a one-time eyesore – our post office grounds.

A year ago, before the committee first dug in, it was a barren plot. The post next to the mail box was an ad hoc advertising post, with business cards and flyers stapled Willie nillie, and flapping around in the breeze. Now brilliant reds and purples catch your eye.

Now it’s an inviting. Colorful space, thanks to the efforts of the committee, chaired by Nancy Harste. Congrats all.

Jobs In Schroon

There are still jobs that need to be filled in Schroon Lake. Witherbee’s, (pictured) and the new -- soon to be officially opened  -- Sticks and Stones, are both hiring. If you are looking for a job, or know of one, or need seasonal help, there is a Schroon Lake Facebook Page devoted entirely to this effort. God luck to employers and prospective employees. 

Lost and Found: Early June Edition

As always, all of our lost and found items have a connection to the water. In this report however, it seems like we only have lost items. Hope you can hope these folks out.

On Saturday Vita Marlena Cowan lost a small gray tackle box on the south end.

Writes Vita: “If anyone finds it I would appreciate it if you could drop it off at Decesare's with Deb DeCesare. Not a brand new one but I'm hoping someone finds it and drops it off. Thank you!

Don Abrams lost a floating dock over the Memorial Day Weekend. 

And from our friends on the East Shore.

The Carpenter’s at 674 E. Shore Drive are missing a faded orange mooring ball.  Let us know if you’ve found it. Thanks, Sandy Carpenter
