The Local Parade with International Appeal

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 4^th 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.

Almost Like Being in Love... In Schroon

It’s opening night for the 96^th season of Schroon Lake’s own Seagle Music Colony, with the premiere of the musical Brigadoon.

We'd like to offer a huge congrats to this year’s class of 32 emerging young artists  -- hand picked from across the US -- who will perform in the Colony's six productions over the summer.

Since early June these young performers have made their summer home at the Seagle Music Colony campus on Charley Hill Road.

Brigadoon tells the story of a mysterious village in Scotland that appears for only one day every hundred years. But things get turned upside down when two lost American tourists stumble upon the village on the eve of a wedding.

Songs from the musical, which made its debut on Broadway in 1947, “Like Almost Like Being in Love”  and “Once In The Highlands” are classics.

Brigadoon @ Seagle Music Colony. Wednesday June 29 to Saturday July 2^nd. 8:00 pm. 999 Charley Hill Road (about 2.5 miles up the hill from the turn off on Route 9)
