Coming This Summer - Saturday, July 19, 2008  

The Schroon Lake Association is putting on the 39th Annual Arts and Crafts Fair on Saturday, July 19th.  This extremely popular fair is held in the Town Park overlooking Schroon Lake.  All the profits that the SLA derives from the Fair go toward our continuing efforts to protect and maintain the health and welfare of the lake (e.g., hiring a certified lake manager as a consultant, funding scientific studies of the lake water, underwriting the fees involved in CSLAP and developing a Lake Management Master Plan).   Fair Director Lorraine Erikson reports that bookings are going very well and she expects over 100 vendors, many of whom have been here before. 

Note:  The Town of Schroon has prohibited dogs from entering onto Town property during public events.  We request that you not bring your dog to the Fair.

Food and Fotos!  

The Schroon Lake Lions Club will again be selling delicious food and drinks, and Penelope the Clown will be there to entertain the children.  A new exhibitor at our Fair this last summer was John Gates, whose photograph "Hope, on Great Sacandaga Lake" appeared on pages 36 and 37 of the April 2007 issue of  Adirondack Life magazine, and was chosen as a winner in their photography contest.

Silent Auction Table, Rug Raffle, Ducks and Dinner!  

At the Schroon Lake Association's Silent Auction, (run by Chuck Harste with the help of Bob Yoeckel, Nancy Belluscio and other SLA member volunteers), you will find delightful gifts donated by vendors and area merchants.  The SLA also has a booth at the Fair with membership materials, newsletters and brochures with information about milfoil and the work we do on the lake.  This last summer we had lovely new Schroon Lake Association t-shirts, rug raffle tickets and tickets for the German Dinner which was a huge success.  So when you come to the Fair look for our booth!  We are near the Silent Auction Table where there are all kinds of wonderful opportunities for a great buy.  Of course all the funds from both of these efforts go to the support of projects to protect our beautiful lake.
