Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

Right about now, the fine volunteer chefs from the Schroon Lake Community Church, (pictured above) have one thing on their mind: chicken – and lots of it.

On the eve of the July 4^th weekend, the birds are being readied, the barbecues dusted off and the coals purchased before Monday’s 32nd Annual Chicken Barbecue.

"The 4^th in Schroon just wouldn’t be the same without the smell of barbecue permeating the town’s air at 9:00 am," organizer Jonathan Belrose  told us.

The coals get fired up at the church at around 6:30am. For $9 you’ll get ½ a mouthwatering chicken, coleslaw, baked beans, a roll and a brownie with your choice of a drink. You can eat in at the church hall or get a take away box. This year the 50 or so volunteers hope to serve about 336 dinners. All proceeds go to support the Church’s various activities. What are you eating this weekend?

Monday, July 4^th. Schroon Lake Community Church. 1086 Route 9 Between Leland and Dock Streets 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. 

Golf + Grill = A Good Cause For Grads

Mark your calendars now for the 10^th Annual  Schroon LIONS Golf Tournament -- this Saturday June 18 -- – at the town course.

We can’t think of a better way to have a boat load of fun while helping to  raise funds for scholarships for graduating Schroon Lake High School students pursuing higher education. Besides a great day of golf  -- with some terrific cash prizes – we hear from Mark Whitney that the famous Lion Cook Shack is back.

"We’ll be pumping out the burgers, dogs, and sausages with peppers – and a good time should be had by all!"
