American Pickers: Schroon Lake Style

There is one gigantic garage sale going in for the next three days at the BIG GARAGE at the Mountainside Bible Chapel complex  -- and for pickers it's gonna be paradise.

More than 40 huge truckloads of household goods, bric-a-brac, furniture, TVs, books, glasses, cookware, appliances, skis, bikes.....you name it.

All funds braised go to support the Mountainside Christian Academy's Pre-K program. It runs from 8am to 4pm, July, 3,4, and 5. For directions, click here.

Pints At Paradox!

If you needed another reason or excuse to go have your growlers refilled at he Paradox Brewery we have one for you: A refreshing pint awaits you!.

That’s right --  PDX is now authorized to sell pints  -- after having their farm to brewery license approved by New York State.

Now, all of the brews at Paradox proudly feature New York State grown hops, grain and amazing NY spring water!

“We’ve secured our supplies, our application was approved, and we are ready to go,” PDX’s Paul Mrocka told Schroon Laker.

Folks will still be able to sample the brews, but for those you know what they want, having a cold pint passes away the time nicely, as your growler or growlers are filled.

And we’ve go the scoop on two, brand new spanking beers, from PDX, which you can read about in our Food and Drink section.

Win Red Molly’s New Album

Next week American Roots trio Red Molly play the Boat House as part of the Schroon Lake Arts Council’s summer concert series.

When Red Molly played Schroon last summer it was a sold out house – with many of the band’s fans coming from the flatlands to see them. (So we’d highly recommend you buying your tickets in advance. Get information, here).

Full disclosure: the folks here at Schroon Laker are HUGE fans of the band. So this in part will explain how you can win Red Molly’s new album.

Recently, on 10th Avenue in New York City, we spied someone who looked a lot like Abbie Gardner, (Far left in the above picture) from Red Molly. So we asked as she walked by: “Red Molly?”

Imagine our surprise when she said yes. Abbie was in town for a gig that night. We got talking and the subject of the group’s upcoming Schroon gig came up. And that’s when we were given a digital download of the new album.

So if you’d like a chance to win it, just send us an email, here. We will draw the winning entry early next week. Good Luck.
