If you are looking for a hearty Thanksgiving meal, check out the traditional dinner today at Sticks and Stones. This weekend Schroon merchants -- and other members of the Schroon Lake Area Chamber of Commerce -- are offering HUGE deals, freebies and other perks. Read all about Small Business Saturday in our blog post below.

Pine Cone Mercantile gets an early jump with Black Friday Special and plans for the rest on the seasons. From Lisa Hess-Marks:, 

"Black Friday (11/25): We open at 10am… so sleep-in!!!!! We’ll be unveiling of holiday decor, gifts, and handmade balsam wreathes. Complimentary cocoa, hot mulled cider, and holiday treats. Also, we’ll be hosting an in-store  "Holiday Selfie Contest"; winner to receive a custom Adirondack Map Tote Bag and $50 gift certificate. Runners-up will receive $25 and $15 gift certificates.

Small Business Saturday (11/26): same events as Black Friday, but North Woods Bread Co (in back of the store) will also be hosting “Cheesestravaganza”…. where customers can meet the cheesemakers from North Country Creamery, who will be taking pre-orders for holiday gift boxes.

Schroon Lake Olde Tyme Christmas (12/10): North Woods Bread Co will host a Christmas Bake Sale with sweet stuff made by some of Schroon Lake’s finest bakers! All proceeds from the bake sale will be donated to the Schroon Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. Special store hours will be 10am to 7pm.

Procrastinator’s Night-Out… formerly "Men’s Night Out" (12/21): doors will stay open late (’til 8pm) for those last-minute shoppers. We’ll have light appetizers in-store, but are running a cross-promotion with Flanagans Pub and Grill. Shoppers can take our receipt to Flanagans and get 15% off their bill. Or vice versa… customers of Flanagans can bring their receipt to Pine Cone Mercantile and get 15% off their purchase.

Our Winter hours are Wednesday thru Sunday, 10am to 5pm… unless otherwise noted above. Hope this helps. Feel free to call me if you have any questions!"
