LAKE GEORGE | Attendance at several recent events in Lake George Village have set new records, and tourism is robust, Mayor Robert Blais told village board members last Monday. “One merchant told me this has been the biggest season in history,” he said. Parking revenue on the back streets of Lake George has increased by 8.5 percent this summer over the same time in 2017, Blais said. Over Labor Day weekend, parking revenue — a traditional gauge of tourism — was $36,865 compared to $22,294 last year, an increase of 65 percent. “This is a huge increase,” Blais said. » Record events Cont. on pg. 5

QUEENSBURY | Stephanie Greineder of southern Pennsylvania stood in the new $22 million Adirondacks Welcome Center on its opening day last Thursday and watched a wall-sized video depicting people enjoying various attractions the area offers. “Wow, we have some exploring to do,” she said to her friend Wanda Miller. Minutes earlier, the duo had pulled off the Northway for a break on their road trip.
“We had no idea what we were going to do in the Adirondacks, but now we may stay an extra week,” Miller answered as she watched the video showing dozens of area’s historic, cultural and recreational destinations. Featured in the lavish video were Colonial re-enacters firing muskets at Fort William Henry, skiers careening off ski jumps at Lake Placid, and tourists exploring underground caverns at Natural Stone Bridge & Caves and visitors walking across a footbridge dangling across a gorge at AuSable Chasm.
