Goodspeed to town: Recreate at the beach.
By John Grybos jgrybos@denpubs.com NEWCOMB — The North Country Challenge, a nearly 10 mile canoe and kayak race around Lake Harris, returns for its ninth year Saturday, Aug. 20. The race attracts serious kayakers, said Joanna Donk, who's one of three members of the race committee, with medals awar ded to first, second and third places. About 35 boats show up each year , Donk said. The race takes place on flat water, and the r ocks along the circuit ar e well-known. If the water's fairly low they can be easily seen, making for a smooth race course. When Donk and the other organizers arrive at the town beach on the morning of the race, there are always a couple eager racers waiting with their craft on their roof racks. The ones who show up to compete for the win ar e a highlight for Donk. The boats they compete in ar e “beautiful pieces of craftsmanship,” long, long boats that get them ar ound the race in a little less than an hour-and-a-half.

Moose Fest to highlight calling contest By John Grybos jgrybos@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE — Barks, bellows and grunts. Moos and moans. With a range like that, contestants at the town's first-ever moose-calling imitation competition have their work cut out for them.
Slated for Satur day, Sept. 24 from 2 to 4 p.m., the calling contest is the big new event at the Gr eat Adirondack Moose Festival, said Brenda Valentine, one of the event organizers. “It's a hoot,” she said. It's actually mor e like a foghorn, said Ed Kanze, an author and natur e guide who'll judge the competi-
tion. The low ululations make the sound travel, especially helpful when the beasts navigate foggy autumn forests. He's joked that the grand prize for the best moose mime will be enticing one of the animals out of the fore st. Though it 's s illy t o t hink i t might happen, he said, it's CONTINUED ON PAGE 10
