Adirondacks Versus Shaquille O'Neal
/NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal teams up with reality star outdoorsman Bear Grylls and takes on the ‘Dacks in a special airing tonight on NBC.
Bear Grylls is best known for his show "Man vs Wild” and sleeping in comfy beds when he should have been camping.
Here's a preview from NBC:
"After being plucked from a freight train via helicopter, Bear and NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal battle dense forest, blood-sucking leeches, and 200 ft. sheer rock faces in the remote Adirondacks in search of their extraction point. Along the way, O'Neal's infectious energy, tales of legendary NBA moments, and unwavering drive to help others reminds us why he is beloved around the world. The Wild will dole out everything it's got, but it's never met a force of nature like Shaquille O'Neal."
In July, there were reports that Shaq and Grylls were on the New York side of Lake Champlain to film a stunt. Oh, brother!
The Schroon Lake Arts Council And You
/Every year, the hard work and dedication of a few souls from the Schroon Lake Arts Council brings hundreds and thousands of dollars into our community.
The depth and variety of the world-class talent that makes up the Schroon Lake Arts Council’s summer concert series, and their annual Folk Festival, gets better each year. And don't forget the free children's concert by the Hampstead Stage Company that gets raves each summer.
And it’s the music that brings in thousands of visitors from near and far, keeps Main Street merchants and area restaurants happy, and adds another dimension to what makes this hamlet a go to destination.
But none of this happens by magic.
On Tuesday, (August 30) it’s the SLAC’s Annual Meeting and President Jack Osborne would like to get the word out they are looking for folks to join them in their efforts.
The meeting is at the Boathouse at 10am. So come along and meet Jack and the board, and if you have some ideas share them. If you have a few hours to volunteer, share those as well.
