Getting Ready For A Halloween Tradition

Every year there are a ton of folks -- big and small -- that can't wait for Halloween. And there's a local tradition that keeps folks coming back year after year. It's the annual Grey's Annual Haunted Trail. Find out all the details on our Kids and Family Section.

A New Mechanic for Schroon Lake Marina?

That’s the question posed by photographer Pat Thorne. From Pat:

“I was out paddling my canoe, when I saw a wake in the water and went to investigate.  This little muskrat climbed up on the propeller on this boat.  It looked as if he was doing major work on the boat’s propeller.  In actuality, he had made a feeding station in back of the boat and was having a feast.  Muskrats live in marshes and lakes and eat cattails, bulrushes and mussels.  Enjoy".

Thanks again Pat for sharing your knowledge and gorgeous photos.
