We Hear They Are Biting

There are dozens of hardy souls out on the ice today -- and several sledders -- enjoying themselves. And organizers from the Schroon Lake Fish and Game Club, are hoping there will be hundreds of ice fishermen and women, boys and girls, and their tip ups out there in the upcoming annual Ice Fishing Derby on March 1st and 2nd.

The club has released details of the event, now in its 22nd year. Entry forms are available at Flanagan’s, Bobcat Sports and the Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club through March 1.

Late entries may be completed at Flanagan’s on Friday, March 1, or at the Fish & Game Club Friday, Feb. 28, from noon to 9 p.m. and Saturday, March 1, or Sunday, March 2.

Early registration is $12 through Sunday, February. 23, and $15.  For out of towners, you can pre-register by mail by sending a check to the Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club with a printed list of entrant’s names, addresses, and phone numbers to Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club, PO Box 725, Schroon Lake 12870.

Heat Wave Saturday

As of 9am.

Compared to recent days -- when we have seen the temps outside at minus 18 degrees -- a high of 23 seems like bathing suit weather! And there's a decent chance we will get some white stuff -- great news for skiers at Gore and much needed for our snowmobile trails and the Town's ski tow. For more on our weather, click here.

Only In Schroon This Saturday: A True Americana Singer and "Rump Shaking" -- in Pottersville!

We are counting down the hours ‘til Mike Packard  -- aka Schwack -- hits Witherbee’s Carriage House, tomorrow (Saturday, January 25th @ 7pm).

Mike, who hails from Glens Falls, is a true singer song-writer, as only America produces: raw, great melodies and each of his songs telling a meaningful story.

To get you in the mood, you can hear some of his tracks here.

And now for something completely different  -- over at the Black Bear Restaurant in Pottersville, it’s gonna be one big Saturday night dance party. This missive, from those Party Animals at the Black Bear:

"Hey ladies!!! We are going to have a Dance Night with DJ Phil playing!!! the rump-shaking songs you love! Bring your husbands and burn some calories with us! At 8 pm”.

Rump shaking – their words, not ours!
