Folks are going all out to do whatever they can to save Schroon’s beloved Strand Theater. This Friday, The Glens Falls National Bank is selling raffle tickets for a chance to win your very own popcorn machine  -- a mini version of what’s at The Strand (well, almost!).

All proceeds will go to the Go Digital Go Dark campaign for The Strand. It’s a $1 for 1 chance, $5 for 10  $10 for 25. Tickets can also be purchased at the Upstate Agency and Schroon Lake Massage & Wellness Center.

Also on Friday, expect to see your favorite tellers and bank staff dressed up for Halloween. Meanwhile, Schroonlaker.com is encouraging everyone with a connection to Schroon Lake and The Strand to donate: That means you dear readers, all of you:  from our day trippers, campers, hikers, bikers, boaters, foodies, second and first homeowners to name a few. And we’re making it easy for you. Just fill out this form and you can get a 100—per cent tax deduction.
