Schroon Library plans gardening program SCHROON LAKE — The Schroon Lake Public Library will offer a new program, “The Down to Earth Garden Club for Kids.” Children and their parents are invited to join the program at the library. The program will begin on Saturday, May 26, and run from 10:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Participants will meet twice a month at the library for about 30 minutes of activities, followed by a short walk to the community garden to tend to the library plot. Children will plant, tend and harvest their garden while learning about the natural world around them. Utilizing the gardening experience as well as library books and hands-on activities, the group will learn about such things as soil composition, helpful and harmful insects, birds, the water cycle, botany and the interrelation of plants, animals and humans. The will run through the end of September. Stop by the library to register or call the library at 532-7737 ext. 13 for further information.

Sonim Cava Brut
This dry red blend has aromas of pepper and dark fruit. On the palate is a mix of black pepper, brambles, cedar and blackberry, with medium tannins through a lingering finish. It’s a well-made wine, straightforward but with enough complexity to keep it interesting. Serve with roast beef or steak.
This sparkler, produced from 40% Parellada, 30% Macabeu and 30% Xarel-lo, three indigenous Spanish grapes, had a much more pronounced leesy/nutty nose with vanilla and herbal tones. In the mouth, the Sonim leans much more to citrusy fruit tones, especially lime zest. It finishes dry and tangy with good persistence.

Bieler Pere Et Fils Rose
Kung Fu Girl Riesling
Bieler Pere et Fils Rosé is soft cranberry-red in color a gorgeous nose of raspberry, bing cherry, wild strawberry and spicy minerality. It is beautifully crisp and flavorful on the palate with medium body and notes of red berries, bing cherries, spice and no oak. The finish is long and refreshing.
On the nose, Kung Fu Girl is bursting with Asian pear, white peach and spring flowers. Apricot, pear, lime, and a pleasant minerality keep this off-dry wine at the perfect level of subtle sweetness. This is a great wine for a summer picnic.

celebrate the official start of summer by involving the entire Schroon Lake area community and bringing them together at the lake,” said Shelby Davis, event organizer. “This is a special weekend for Schroon Lake. It’s when many second home owners and snow birds return to open up their camps.” The Memorial Day weekend events will feature a boat parade and blessing of the fleet, a Summer Expo on Main Street, a “Tribute To The Troops” concert, a Lions Club auction and more. Although not technically the weekend, events will get under way Thursday, May 24, with an open mic night at Witherbee’s Carriage House. Saturday’s activities will include a community garage sale, a non-motorized boat chain across the lake at 9 a.m., the blessing of boats at 9:30 a.m., a used book sale by the Friends of the Schroon Lake Library 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the health center basement, a “Down to Earth Garden Club” for children at the Schroon Lake Library at 10:30 a.m., the Summer Expo 2 to 8 p.m., a motorized boat parade and blessing of the fleet at 2 p.m., a yoga class at 5 p.m., a zumba class and demonstration at 6 p.m. and the “Tribute to the Troops” concert at the town bandstand. The concert will begin at 11:30 a.m. with songs for children by Curtis Becraft followed by folk songs and sing alongs by Becraft at 1 p.m., a performance by Mark Piper at 3 p.m., the Gregson Brothers at 4:30 p.m. and The Stephen L. Smith Band at 7:30 p.m. “This is the weekend when many put their boats in water,” Davis said. “And that inspired the idea to have the blessing of the boats.” Davis said there will be two blessings, for non-motorized and motorized watercraft. Local clergy will be stationed on both land and boats in the lake to bless the fleets. “The blessing of the canoes and kayaks will take place at 9:30 a.m. and the blessing of the motorized fleet will take place at around 2 p.m.,” she said. “We want boat owners to get into the spirit of the weekend and decorate their boats. The (Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce) chamber will recognize the Funniest Boat, Best Pirate Ship and Most Adirondack Style Boat for decorations. And there is no cost to be included in the boat parades.” The Summer Expo on Main Street will feature vendors. Main Street businesses are also being encouraged to offer specials for the duration of the weekend. “The Summer Expo will be an ideal opportunity for area businesses, arts and crafters, non-profits and community organizations to showcase what they do,” Davis said. “Booths have already been secured by service groups like the Schroon Lake EMS and the Warren County Sheriff ’s Department. The expo will also feature a free zumba class and demonstration by Cathy Peace and a Sun Salutation yoga class by True North Yoga Studio owner Deb Philp.” Davis said the townwide garage sale, which will run over the three-day weekend, will also bring a lot of people to Schroon. “Everyone loves a good garage sale,” Davis said. “We will have maps both online and hard copies for folks to navigate their way around town.” Registration forms for the Summer Expo, boat parades and the garage sales are available at the Schroon Lake Cham-
ber of Commerce office and online at www.schroonlakeregion.com. Sunday’s events include the community garage sale, a pancake breakfast served by Cub Scout Pack 37 at the Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club 7 a.m. to noon, Schroon Lake Central School trout project release at 11 a.m. at the town dock, a presentation by the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge and Rehab Center at 11:30 a.m. in the town park and the annual Town of Schroon Lions Club auction at noon at the Boathouse Theatre. Schroon Lake will observe Memorial Day Monday. The new flagpole at the town veterans memorial will be dedicated by Mike Marnell, town supervisor, and the annual Memorial Day service will be held at the town’s veterans memorial at 10 a.m. There will also be a Memorial Day service at the North Hudson town hall at 11a.m. Refreshments will be served.
