Open Mic Thursday

Tom, Eric and Linda -- jammin' at Witherbee's.

We’ve named Witherbee’s Carriage House Open Mic night as the hottest weekly music happening the in the ADKs. And week after week – new and old fans  -- are realizing how true it is.

Tonight, Mr. “Open Mic” himself, Mark Piper, is off on a well deserved vacation. Running the jamming session are two of our favorites, Linda and Tom of Hot Pursuit

Witherbee's Carriage House. 581  US Route 9, Schroon Lake. 518 532 9595

Schroon Laker’s #TBT: A Double Header

This week’s #TBT could either go into our History or Food and Drink section. We have opted for History, as it’s a great yarn, worth preserving and one that few people know about.  It involves a cook known as John Gun Pin -- born in Donghai in mainland China’s Zhoushan Archipelago – who ended up at Schroon’s now defunct Idylwold Boys Camp. We recently uncovered this gem and wanted to share it with you. Former Idylwold campers – do you remember Chef Pin?  Read more in our History and Fun Facts section.
