From good samaritan Jim Bohleber:
"I was out fishing last night (Thursday) when I came upon this kayak. It is a Pelican Trailblazer 100. It was floating about 300 or 400 yards offshore, approx. opposite The Landings, or Tamaracbeach. (northwest area of lake) If anybody thinks it is theirs, they can call me at 631-987-8780. They should be able to give me details on the life vest that was in the bow area".
It's opening day at Saratoga -- a favorite destination for many Schroon Lakers. And once again it's time to direct you to the ultimate insiders guide for having a great day out. Written by JoAnne Piterniak in 2013, this is one of our most popular and Googled features, so check it out it out, by clicking here.
Schroon Lake will soon be welcoming around two hundred cyclists as part of Cycle Adirondacks 2017. This annual ride, which includes a stop in Schroon for the first time, encourages participants and folks in the towns on the ride, to contribute to a program that will benefit the community.
And the Schroon Lake Central School has an awesome project, looking for funding: A Farm to Table program. Here’s more about the project from Adirondack Gives and the Schroon Lake Central School:
"The goal of this new agricultural program is to help students understand where their food comes from and how they can use the Earth to become self-sufficient and responsible consumers.
The centerpiece of our Farm to Table program will be the construction of a chicken coop, not far from our playground and the future camping site of Cycle Adirondacks.
Our new coop will be used as a study lab for raising and understanding livestock. Along with the other facets of our Farm to Table program such the construction of raised garden beds and the implementation of a composting system, we hope to instill and teach a lifelong passion for gardening and farming, and responsible use of the land".
As of this writing, half of the $2,000 needed has been raised. We encourage you to give if you can, by visiting their website, right here.
