Snow Won't Stop The Show

It's all systems GO as Schroon welcomes in the Year 2013 -- despite the massive amounts of snow around town -- and in the town park, where a lot of the action is happening tonight.

"There is an area flattened by he town and the bon fire is ready to go," one of the organizers Tony Kostecki, told Schroon Laker today.

"Yes, there is a lot of snow so are are expecting folks to dress appropriately. Wear your snow boots or stay in the street".

Advance ticket sales are available today at the Schroon Lake Chamber Office or Mr P's Mountain Smokehouse, where you can save a few bucks if you buy them today. Prices slightly higher at the Schroon Lake Central School tonight.
