Meet Your Candidates

Mountainside Bible Chapel will host their annual Meet Your Candidates night his coming  Sunday (November 3 at 6:00 pm). 

All local candidate running for office this November have been invited and all have accepted, we hear from organizer Barbara Rickards Dakin.

From Barbara:

"This is open to all candidates. Invitations have gone out to those running for re-election in Schroon Lake, to the candidates running for Town Judge, and for Essex County candidates.  I have received confirmation from all local candidates, as well as Kristy Sprague.  Town board members who are not running have also received a special invitation.  The program, which is about an hour, includes a challenge to citizens for personal involvement in government and responsible voting, music, and the introduction of each candidate. At this time they take a few minutes to say a few words about themselves and the office for which they are a running.  After this there is an informal dessert and coffee social for you to meet & talk with candidates in small groups or one-on-one"

Barbara is hoping for a big turnout and says everyone in the community is invited.  For more information call (518) 532-7128 ext. 3. Mountainside is located on Route 9, four miles south of Schroon Lake village.

Happy Halloween!

In what seems like the longest lead up to Halloween we can remember, it's finally here! The Scroon Lake Central School has their annual parade beginning at 1pm. And over at the Glens Falls National Bank, the staff will be dressed as famous movie characters! Classic movie posters will also be on display as part of The Save The Strand Theater campaign.  

We encourage you to help keep the The Strand open by making a tax deductible donation at the bank, while getting into the spirit of Halloween.

A hat tip to one of our area's more prolific photographers, Sharron Tyrrell, whose photo above was recently named picture of the week by Adirondack.net. 

We recently profiled Sharron here. Her terrific photo was taken at the  the old Woods Lodge, soon to be the new home of the Inn on Schroon Lake.
