Road Trip To Fort Ti

May 09, 2014/ anthony batson

Spring is blooming at Fort Ticonderoga and the King's Garden is nothing less than spectacular! The staff is busy preparing, planting, and plowing to get ready for the season. And mark your calenders for May 16, when Fort Ticonderoga hosts the Nineteenth Annual War college of the Seven Years' War. But this weekend it's the No Quarter night time reenactment.

From Fort Ticonderoga:

"Fort Ticonderoga kicks off the 2014 season May 10-11 with its “No Quarter” event recreating the capture of Fort Ticonderoga on May 10th, 1775. In this weekend-long recreation visitors will experience “America’s First Victory.” Throughout the weekend, visitors will explore this dramatic story from the perspectives of both the British garrison and the Green Mountain Boys and come face-to-face with the historical characters including Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold. This must-see living history weekend will take place May 10-11 from 9:30 am – 5 pm. The event is included in the general admission fee. On Saturday evening, a special re-enactment of the capture of the Fort will take place. Gates open at 7:30 pm and tickets available at the door. Admission to the evening program is $15. The special evening re-enactment takes place rain or shine!"

May 09, 2014/ anthony batson

Like a bargain? Thinking of opening a restaurant? Need linens for a craft project?

Then we have news you can use, as the The Word Of Life has some threads to shed!

The Inn is having a sale on some new linens, this Saturday, between 1pm to 4pm at their pool.

How are these for bargains: 50 cents per linen napkin and table covers for only $2 or $3!! We are told the fabric alone is worth more than their rock bottom clearance prices.

Schroon's Awesome Archers

May 09, 2014/ anthony batson

As we reported earlier this week, there are four Schroon Lake Central students aiming high to score big in the National Archery in Schools Program national competition in Kentucky right now.

And we just recently learned about the stunning accomplishments of many other SLCS students, who are also awesome archers.

This year 18 Schroon Lake Central Schoo students competed in the NASP State Tournament and they all shot very well. From the school's Spring Newsletter:

“There were 607 competitors in this year’s tournament from districts all over New York. Schroon Lake had four students rank in the top six and 11 in the top 50. Megan Hall finished as the top female in NYS and Derek Dezalia, Sam Foote and Ian Lowe were ranked 3,4 & 5 for the boys. Emily Maisonville was the top middle school female while Ben Wisser finished as the #3 middle school boy.
