The Town of Schroon is looking for donations for their annual Labor Day Street Party and Fireworks Display. If you love this celebration – the unofficial end to the season – then you are being asked to participate in the Schroon Lake Challenge!

This year money was not allocated by the Town for fireworks, so the Schroon Lake Chamber is heading up efforts to raise a total of $4,000 for the event.

We hear Stewarts Shops has already donated a mighty $1,000. The Schroon Lake Chamber (thanks to Donna Mellan Rice's 4th of July chair massages) has donated $100; but the rest is up to all of the Schroon Lake lovers out there.

From the organizers: “Please contribute by making checks payable to the Town of Schroon - Please state for FIREWORKS! Bring your checks to the Town Hall (Patty Savarie, Chris Stone, or Mike Marnell) or the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce on Main Street. We thank you in advance for your generosity, and ask that you share this post with all your friends and neighbors”.

So 2, 4, 6, 8, dig in, don't wait!
