The barbecue chicken is cookin', Loose Connections are blasting out the tunes, and folks are nabbing prime spots for today's parade. The above shot was taken at 10.30 am. Schroon Lake is buzzing with anticipation for the big show. Where will you be watching the big parade today?

Sunset Schroon Lake, Saturday, July 2, 2011
Despite this morning’s thunderclaps – and over all crappy forecast for today – Saturday was sure feeling like it’s the 4th of July weekend.
And you know the summer seasons has officially started when you see the following:
Renegade fire works light up the lake on July 2 (Nice show from the east side last night)
Folks not always giving way to pedestrians in cross walks (Yes, we are talking about you, Mrs Vermont Plates)
A packed to capacity Town Beach with swimmers being taken care of by our diligent life guards (Shout out to Dan!)
Very cool looking Harley Davidsons parked neatly on Main Street
NYS Police enforcing the speed limit – A HUGE THANKS
Sunday, July 3, 2011 at 8:31AM At least 20,000 people, folks from all over the North Country, the US and the world -- we hear there are several Aussies vacationing here this year – are expected for Monday’s July 4th Parade.
Organizer Kate Huston says this year’s parade, in the planning stages since last year’s ended, will feature a lot of music.
"I’m really pleased that we have so much music in the parade and in the day’s activities," Kate told Schroon Laker.
And if you want one of the best seats in the house, get there early. We hear folks starting placing their folding chairs along the route in downtown early in the morning.

There’s so much going on in Schroon this weekend, I am compelled to tell a joke that I’m sure a few comedians used over the years at the old Scaroon Manor:
"I feel like a mosquito at a nudist colony – I don’t know where to start!"
Music is prominently featured in this year's July 4th celebrations, with performances by several bands, including the Gregson Bros, artists from the Seagle Music Colony and Word of Life Collegians.
