Throw Back Thursday: Miracle On Ice Reunion

This Saturday, for the first the first time since 1980 USA Hockey Team left Lake Placid with their Olympic gold medals, all 19 surviving members are returning to relive their "Miracle on Ice" moment, reports the Associated Press.

The Olympic Regional Development Authority says the anniversary celebration will be the first time the entire squad will be together in the host village of 1980 Winter Games.

The event will be in the arena where the team beat the odds and defeated the Soviet Union 4-3.

Big Weekend Ahead: Sleds and Chili

Next Saturday two big events are on the Schroon Social Calendar -- The Schroon North Hudson Snow Mobile Club’s Poker Run and the 4th Annual Schroon Lake Chili Cook-Off.

We’ll have more on the Poker Run later this week, but today we want to remind you to save the date for the Chili Cook-Off, a most worthy event which last year raised more than $1,000 cook for the Schroon Lake EMS.

And if you are wondering about the history of the event, check out our story in our Food and Drink section.
