You Know It’s Summer

Sunset Schroon Lake, Saturday, July 2, 2011

Despite this morning’s thunderclaps – and over all crappy forecast for today – Saturday was sure feeling like it’s the 4^th of July weekend.

And you know the summer seasons has officially started when you see the following:

Renegade fire works light up the lake on July 2 (Nice show from the east side last night)

Folks not always giving way to pedestrians in cross walks (Yes, we are talking about you, Mrs Vermont Plates)

A packed to capacity Town Beach with swimmers being taken care of by our diligent life guards  (Shout out to Dan!)

Very cool looking Harley Davidsons parked neatly on Main Street

NYS Police enforcing the speed limit – A HUGE THANKS
