Sports helped them immediately establish friendships and mentoring, while keeping them active.

Producer adds Las Vegas Elvis Fest to Annual Schedule

LAKE GEORGE, NY (March 2011) –– It started in Lake George, NY.  Now it’s going to Las Vegas.  Back in 2003, Jason Sherry attended a meeting hosted by the Village of Lake George where two Elvis Tribute Artists (impersonators) told the gathered crowd about a huge event held in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada.  “The Collingwood Elvis Festival,” they said “attracts over 30,000 Elvis fans to a small town just like Lake George.  In a few years, we could be attracting that type of crowd to Lake George.”

While the LakeGeorge.com Elvis Festival (now in its eighth year of production) has not yet attracted 30,000 spectators, it has fast become one of the Lake George Region’s cornerstone events.  The annual four-day event brings over 4,000 spectators to Lake George and the surrounding community.  And with free and paid events taking place ...

The New York State Department Of Enviromental Conservation Warns Of Inconsistent Ice Conditions

Posted In: Area News, Other by admin
February
14
Feb 10, 2011 -- Recent heavy snows combined with earlier thaws have brought about inconsistent ice conditions on the surfaces of lakes, ponds and other waters in the Adirondacks and surrounding areas, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) warns snowmobilers, ice anglers, skiers, snowshoers and other recreationists today.

The weight of snow has caused ice to sink slightly forcing water from below the ice up on to the surface. Water, in some places up to a foot deep, may refreeze resulting in alternating layers of ice and water all covered by a blanket of snow. The snow acts as an insulator preventing the water from refreezing completely even in very cold temperatures.

DEC has received numerous reports of snowmobiles and other vehicles getting stuck in the mixture of snow, slush, ice and water. Several snowmobiles and vehicles have broken through areas of thin ice.

These ...
