Schroon's Saturday Film Fest Continues

The Schroon Lake Library’s three month long free movie festival continues this Saturday with the Croods and Admission.

This annual cold weather tradition features films with wide appeal -- plus free popcorn. Each Saturday  there are two films shown daily:  A film for kids at 12:30pm and a night time selection at 7pm.  All the action happens in the meeting room at the Town Hall.

And we’ve got your exclusive sneak peak to what’s showing in April, right here.
