Schroon Town Hall Expansion: Here’s To A Mild Winter

It was a balmy 65 degrees when Schroon Laker caught up with Town manager Mike Marnell to talk about what the future holds for the Town  Hall building expansion. And it’s warmer temperatures like Wednesday’s  that will help the project be finished on time, according to Marnell.

“We will start laying the frost walls and footings and slab next week,” Marnell told Schroon Laker.com.

“With all of the contracts signed, we are all set. We want to be finished for a Memorial Day opening. The contractors will keep on working, even with heaters, until it gets too cold”.

The poured slab will be about 2500 square feet. The initial excavation of the site was carried out by Larry Shields and his company, said Marnell.

Unlike previous town improvement projects,  Marnell said the new expansion will not use any town resources.

When complete,  there will be new offices for town employees, a secured court and an expnaded public library.

This was the scene a couple of weekend's back from the old Woods property, the future home of a new hotel project. It was quite a Fall!

A Big Day For Schroon's Own Paradox Brewery

Three cheers for the folks at Schroon’s own Paradox Brewery. Saturday, October 22 is launch day of what die hard fans have been waiting a long time for: their thirst quenching offerings are now available in cans.

That’s right! As true beer enthusiasts know, the can is the most protective shield that protects beer from any light, that may impact its taste.

Not to mention its hiker and boater friendly, ideal for many fans.

“We’ve been working on this a long time, we went through many experiments before we got here,” Paul recently told Schroon Laker.

“The idea behind the cans is to make the beer available to as many consumers as possible. The hope is that many of our fans – and those who are yet to try our beer, will be able to walk into their local stores and pick up a few packs.”

The beer cans features the Brewery’s all new design, which is now on all of PDX’s glassware, growlers and clothing.

The brewery is celebrating the can launch with a party today. Available in cans will be Pilsner and Overbite, and drum roll please: their award winning (and our favorite) Southern Hemisphere Double IPA.

Lead brewer Devon Hamilton and his crew, including Thomas Formicola, and James DeWaard have worked around the clock to get ready for this day.

“We are very proud,” said Paul.
