Town Hall Expansion Update In Pictures

Since the melting of the ice and snow, the contractors working on Schroon's Town Hall expansion have been working as fast as mother nature allows them. Town Supervisor Mike Marnell says the next step will be the framing of the top floor. Marnell says the project is still on target for a Labor Day Weekend ribbon cutting ceremony. Meanwhile, the Schroon Lake Public Library has been awarded a $7,500 grant from the Adirondack Foundation to aid the library’s efforts in development an Early Education Childhood Center.  

Funds will also be used to furnish the children’s area in the new section of the library. The library’s expansion committee is currently applying for grants through local foundations to furnish other sections of the new library. Community donations are also welcome. For more information, contact the Schroon Lake Public Library at 532-7737.  See our Photo Album by clicking the Read More link below.

Paradox brewery Founders Joan and Paul Mrocka

Valentine’s Day may be in the history books, but there’s a lot of love from the many fans  of Schroon’s own Paradox Brewery. And now fans can show their love for their favorite adult beverage. The award winning maker of some of the finest hand crafted beer in the land is competing in Governor Cuomo’s Taste NY Inaugural Craft Beer Challenge.

New Yorkers are invited to vote for their favorite New York brewery for a limited time. The five breweries from across the state with the most votes will be invited to a beer showdown, at a Taste NY Inaugural Craft Beer Challenge Event in New York City.

It won’t be too long until everyone in New York City (and beyond) will be able to get their hands on the liquid Adirondack gold so many of us are able to enjoy, as the brewery expands its canning operations, as well as the big expansion set for Frontier Town in North Hudson.

So let’s get behind Paul and Joanie Mrocka, and the award winning brew team of Devon Hamilton, Thomas Formicola, James DeWaard and Dalton Wilson.
