Schroon Laker: Expanding Our Coverage
/
Now in our 4th year, we are proudly growing by leaps and bounds. Our analytics (web speak for how many readers we have and page views) are off the charts. Our loyal readers continue to spread the word about ‘the LAKER.
And as we grow, you will find more coverage of all things in North Warren County, where there is A LOT happening. You will be hearing a lot about the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance in the future.
The Alliance encompasses Chestertown, Brant Lake, Pottersville and the hamlet of Adirondack. The Alliance is a driving force in promoting tourism and boosting commerce in the area which covers much of our readership – south of Scaroon Manor – on both sides of our precious lake.
The Alliance’s goal is to bring fun and exciting events and other improvements to our community. The Alliance is a not-for-profit organization of business owners and individuals who take pride in their towns -- all working together to promote their lake communities.
What we like about the Alliance? It complements and works with other organizations supporting their communities, including the North Warren Chamber of Commence, Chestertown Rotary, town governments and other groups. Here’s the best part: the Alliance is well known for getting projects off the ground quickly. Meetings are held every other Friday at 9am at The Panther Mountain Inn.
