Schroon Lake Says Goodbye to Summer

It’s been a tough for many on Main Street, but the town’s brave entrepreneurs did a fab job opening their doors, practicing social distancing and welcoming back their customers. It was great to see downtown Schroon buzzing this year: From folks often lined up for a seat at Pitkin’s new outdoor dining area, community gardeners tending to their plots, and the crowds at Stewart’s for ice-cream.
And outdoor dining is now available at Trail Break at Schroon Lake. The large, inviting space was designed and built by ADK Garden’s Eric Welch, who provides terrific landscaping services. He and his family also sell plants, herbs and fresh fruits and vegetables at their Route 9 greenhouse and store.
But we were saddened to learn of the closing of True North Yoga’s studio. Founder Deb Philp was a pioneer businesswoman who took a chance, and at the same time changed people’s lives through yoga and reiki. Her legacy will continue on-line. From Deb:
“Virtual classes are offered through the Zoom video conferencing platform. To get the link and password, you must register for the class at least 15 minutes before the start time. You can register for any class or purchase a discounted 4-pack of virtual classes here.”
This weekend marks the unofficial end of the Summer season and for some businesses closing up for the year.
Vine and Barley, atop the Town Store, is inviting Schroon Lakers to an end of season party on Sunday, from 12. – 6pm. There’s drink specials all weekend, including two for one bottled beers and discounts on wine and their famous slushies. At the Town Store there are bargains in every department.
And photographer Tom Patrick is hoping to capture some unique images of camp fires along the shores of the lake on Saturday night with his drone.
