We are gonna take a wild guess that their will be screams of delight (hopefully) at the pubs and bars of Schroon after 4pm today.

Lest we need to remind anyone, there’s a do or die game of the world’s most popular sport being played by the United States today.

We are taking on  a country, which we are reminded by Joe Steiniger, one of their culinary claims to fame is that they dunk their French Fries in mayo. The country would be a little hamlet of Europe, sporting population a little over 11 million: Belgium.

The big screens, flats screens and small screens of many Schroon Lake establishments will be showing the game, including Witherbee’s, Flanagan’s, ‘The Wolf, the bar at Drake’s Restaurant and many eateries.

But a lot of the action is gonna be at Sticks and Stones, where the game just happens to coincide with their 2 for 1 drink special Happy Hour – until 7pm. Where will you be watching the game  -- and what’s your prediction?

Schroon At Night: Simply Glorious

This glorious photo was taken by a photographer from ROOST. What is ROOST? It stands for Regional Office Of Sustainable Tourism and works closely with Adirondack towns like Schroon to promote and grow tourism and local businesses, while at the same time improving the quality of life for year round residents. ROOST is led by the energizer bunny like Jim McKenna. You can read more about what ROOST does in a story we reported earlier this year here, where Schroon gets a special shout out from Jim.

If this is your first or 50th July 4th in Schroon – you won’t be disappointed! This year’s event is an all day celebration – of our Independence, small town America Style! (Although a parade that reportedly attracts 20,000 folks gives Schroon BIG TIME bragging rights.)

As always, there is something for everybody: Music, a variety of kids activities, good eats, and one heck of a fireworks show.   Read More in our Kids and Family section.
