Calling all fall hunters, hikers, leaf peepers, fisher folks, bikers and locals (and you crazy boaters who just can't get off the lake -- despite the snow flurries!): just because the summer is over, doesn’t mean anyone is slowing down on being creative in the kitchens of Schroon. And that especially applies to our friends over at Sticks and Stones, who are running two specials right now.

First off, owners Steve Holmes and Gary Tromblee are offering a Monday through Thursday Happy Hour at the Bar from 4pm to 7pm.

And there’s also their "Soup ta Nuts"! special: a soup sampler where you pick 3 soups. They also throw in some nuts too - hence the name "Soup ta Nuts"! And there's also their beer flight sampler (you pick 4 drafts!)

Speaking of beers, fans of the Paradox Brewery -- who don’t live in or near Schroon -- now have the chance to get their growlers filled in Queensbury, Saratoga, Wilton and Malta, thanks to the Minogues Beverage Company. Four Paradox brews are available at each location. This weekend the Paradox Tasting Room is open on Friday 4pm -- "until you stop coming" -- Saturday 11am - 6pm and Sunday 12pm - 5pm

And Witherbee’s Carriage House is offering a $1 off your first drink tonight (October 31st) if you wear your Halloween Costume. Don’t forget tonight is Open Mic Night, hosted by Mark Piper.

And watch this space for some upcoming news on what's happening at Mr P's Smokehouse this Thanksgiving.
