The Strand's Big Night Out

When folks travel from near and far to Schroon Lake – to help out a good cause – then you are pretty much guaranteed it is going to be a huge success. And that was the story on Saturday, December 28, when a near capacity crowd turned out for a fun evening of movies, memories and memorabilia for a fundraiser to Save the Strand Theatre.

In the lobby stood beaming Strand owners Larry and Liz McNamara, greeting dozens of folks. They were joined by event organizers, including Patti Mehm and Emily Rossi-Snook.

There was something about the energy of the event that simply made the art deco cinema glow. That art deco is untouched from when the Rossi family, who purchased the Strand in 1937, enlisted New York City theater designers to reimagine the interior.

We learned that nugget from Emily Rossi-Snook, who gave a brief history of how her family got involved in the Strand. (Emily is also the chairperson for the Save the Strand Committee).
