Bikes, Chickens and Lobsters

/

 It's going to be one of those great latest summer weekends here in Schroon, with so much to do --  And it's all outdoors.

Saturday the annual Schroon Lake Fish and game club chicken and lobster bake will occupy a large part of the day for many folks at the club's headquarters off of Hoffman Road.

The roast chicken and lobster dinners have SOLD OUT, but there’s plenty of great grub to be had:  from dogs and hamburgers, sausages and peppers, corn on the cob and other assorted great eats. 

They will be served all day, as will frosty cold adult beverages. And there’s a ton of fun for the kids with a moon bounce,  lively games of horseshoe toss, and don’t forget to whip out the Frisbee. ALL ARE WELCOME. Get there early and taste Drew Hanchett’s amazing barbecued pork. Chicken and Lobsters are served starting around 1:30 pm!

The day is a great way to catch up with friends and neighbors who you may have missed over the busy summer months. For some, (like me) the day starts early, when Joe Steiniger's chicken crew fires up the grills and tend to those birds, gently sprinkling them with Joe's secret rub. For the next several hours our mighty crew stands watch over those birds, making sure they are delicious in every way.

Meanwhile, those hard-working lobster lads will be boiling up some water to throw in a few crustaceans and some corn.
