Editor’s N0te (11/10/2017): Due to inclement weather, the DEC has decided to close the Prospect Mountain Veteran’s Memorial Highway for the weekend of November 11-12, so the event has been removed from this weekend’s roundup of events.
Veterans Day is this weekend, and throughout the Lake George Region, many local businesses and organizations will be hosting memorial services or events for veterans. Planning to be in the area? If so, then here are some of the biggest events and activities that you should check out in and around Lake George.
