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.

The Syracuse University journalism class assignment, where graduate students reported from a press conference with real time Tweets about a fake hotel collapse at Schroon Lake, is under review.

Jon Glass, the Collaborative Media Room General Manager who taught the class, told Schroon Laker that Schroon Lake has been used as the real town in this exercise for more than ten years.

Grace Hudowalski: Adirondack Trailblazer

Among those who have contributed to making the Adirondacks what they are today, Grace Hudowalski, stands tall as a spunky, inspirational trailer blazer.

Grace, who kept a camp at Schroon Lake for most of her life, was an avid hiker who summited all 46 Peaks and helped establish the Adirondack 46ers.

Before her passing in 2006, she made sure to reach out to more than 4,500 46ers.  Her great joys were her love of mountains, young people and good writing.

Grace’s legacy is celebrated in the annual writing conmpetition established in her name.
