Wanna Hear A Great Yarn?

Well, there was lots of yarns shared and a lot of yarn spun yesterday, when women from as far away as Plattsburg, Willsboro, Schroon Lake, Loon Lake, Beaver Pond, Lake George, and Chestertown gathered for “Knitting in Public”.

Schroon Laker and knitter Julie Sawyers tells us it was a “wonderful afternoon” outside the Chester Yarn Boutique.

"Food and conversation and great weather made it a very enjoyable afternoon. The national “knit in public” day was in June, but it rained here".

Boathouse Sing-A-Long And More

What could be more of a Schroon Lake experience than a good old fashioned sing-a-along with that key summer ingredient: ice-cream!

And that’s just the beginning of what’s happening tonight at the Boat House starting at 7 pm, in what promises to be a not to be missed event.

There will also be a barbershop quartet, performances by Sue Tilotson, and the Sweet Adeline Singers, as well as appearances by some of the terrific instrumentalists that appear regularly at the Monday night Boat House Jam Sessions.

An ice-cream social follows. The event is sponsored by the Schroon-North Hudson Historical Society and while it’s a free event, they will happily take your donation.

Inlaws Rock Schroon Lake

After a long, hot week, there’s nothing better than kicking back with an ice cold adult beverage, in air conditioned comfort, while listening to some kick butt country rock!

That’s why you should be at Witherbee’s tonight to see the Inlaws, one of the best country rock acts around.  Check out their video to get a taste of what this band is all about. The boys have been busy laying down tracks for a new album, featuring many of the songs you can hear tonight. 8 pm – 12 am.

Witherbee’s Carriage House, 581 Route 9. (518) 532-9595

Shimmy Your Way To A Healthful You

Our friend over at True North Yoga Deb Philp, knows a thing or two about  getting in touch with your inner zen, as well keeping healthy. So when Deb told us that belly dancing is good for you, we were intrigued. Today, Belly Dancing Guru Natalie, from Montreal – who summers right here in Schroon --  continues her workshops at True North, with a class called “Shimmy, Shimmy, Shimmy”.

Don’t be intimidated. This workshop is designed for newbies to the exotic world of belly dancing. This class will teach the basic hip and shoulder shimmies and focus on correct posture and how to move all the moving parts of your body needed to pull this off. It’s from  1 pm – 3pm.
