I See Red

The point of view from first time kayaker Katie Mancine, is this week's Photo of The Week. Katie, who took her first visit here in early July, snapped the photo with her iphone and used the Hipsatmatic application for the cool post processing effect. We think Katie captured Schroon Lake's dream like quality that makes the Lake so special. Got a picture for us? Email it to SchroonLaker@me.com

Get Down Tonight With Boréal Tordu

To get you in the mood for tonight's Boréal Tordu concert at the Boat House, play the above You Tube video. The band, which hails from Maine with a French connection via Canada --  has an infectious sound, heavy on the fiddle, which will make you want to get up and dance (hopefully), or at least tap your toes.

So how did Boréal Tordu get their unique sound? A few years back fiddler Steve Muise and singer Robert Sylvain discovered they shared a passion for the music of their shared Acadian heritage. While signs of their parents' French culture can still be found in Maine, it was almost lost to their generation, after years of forced assimilation. More than a revival, their music represents a continuation of musical traditions passed down from the Acadians, the Québécois, and the unique French-speaking people of the the Republic of Madawaska and milltowns all over New England.

The Boat House, 8pm. 

Schroon's New Tasty One Stop Meal Shopping Spot

We keep hearing rave reviews from folks who have discovered the bounty of delights at Monday’s Farmer’s Market.

"You could plan an entire meal or two here, complete with wine,"said holiday maker Dr. Ed Latimer, from Montclair, New Jersey, who was staying with friends with his wife Isabelle.

"From a cheese plate for appetizers, salad greens, herbs, the main course, to dessert, it’s all here. And there’s even wine."

Dr. Latimer was impressed with the white chocolate flavor of a dessert wine sold by Colebrook Country wines.

“For a small market, it covers everything,” Isabelle told us. And here is just a sampling of what the Latimers picked up: jams, pies, salad greens, herbs, maple syrup, wine, cheese.

Farmer's Market. Today 9 am to 1 pm. Parking lot outside the Town Hall.
