Yes, There will be a Summer

If Spring ever decides to get its act together, there will eventually be warm, sunny days with blue skies, just like over the 2012 Schroon Opening Weekend. Here to get us all in the mood for Summer, and the opening weekend, is a slide show of what we saw around Town that splendid weekend. What was your favorite memory of that weekend?

It's official -- the spectacular fireworks our town is proud of and known for -- will be part of the *Schroon Lake Opening Weekend (S.L.O.W) Festivities over the Memorial Day Weekend in May.

After having a tough time locating a launching site -- which wouldn't incur overtime costs to the Town -- organizers have secured the Word Of Life's mainland dock.

The fireworks display will be part of the weekend's hat tip to Memorial Day, and wil be known as the "Tribute To The Troops" Fireworks display. The fireworks are just one element of what is building up to be a spectacular weekend, which will include a boat parade, blessing of the boats, a town wide garage sale, a Summer Expo in the Town Park, a Memorial Day Service, and a Captain's Lunch or dinner at area restaurants.

To pull off this extraordinary undertaking organizers are looking for volunteers. Contact Shelby Davis at shel@shelbyskitchentherapy.com if you can help.
