Schroon's Wash Days: Scrubbing Up on The Past

If you have kids who have no idea what a clothes line is — then the chances they know about how wash was done “in the olden days” are slim to none. But they can learn a fun little history lesson next Thursday, August 8th, 2019.

That’s when the Schroon-North Hudson Historical Society holds their "Wash Days" program, at the museum, a hands-on program for children to learn how to wash laundry the old fashion way.

From the Society:

“They will haul water to the wash tub, use a bar of soap and a scrub board to wash some good ole' fashion laundry including some fun long johns, use the hand ringer to remove excess water, and then wonder over to hang up laundry on an old fashion clothes line. The event runs from 9:30am -11:30am @ The Schroon North Hudson Historical Society. Free and open to the public! This program is possible with a generous grant from the Stewart's Holiday Matching Grant program!”

Red Molly's Abbie Gardner Returns to Schroon

Hands down, Red Molly is one of our favorite bands. Ever. The trio blew the doors off the Schroon’s Boat House a few years back with a sold out, standing room only crowd, filled with fans near and far — like Canada far!

And this summer fans of American Roots music get the chance to see Abbie Gardner perform solo. This young artist has grown and matured since we first caught her on stage in the Flatlands. Her skills as a song writer continue to develop and impress. She now owns the stage and has an infectious smile and emits warmth and good vibes

This event — next Tuesday, July 31st at the Boat House — is selling quickly. Get your tickets here. And Abbie’s new video. This event is part of the Schroon Lake Arts Council’s summer series.
