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

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.

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.
