TICONDEROGA — Everyone will have access to Thanksgiving dinner this year. The third annual “Miracle on Montcalm Street — Adirondack Dinner Table” will be shared Thanksgiving day noon to 3 p.m. at the Ticonderoga fire house. “We are not serving anyone,” organizer Tricia Stonitsch said. “We are sharing our Thanksgiving with others.” The entire event is designed to have a family feeling, she said. “Family, friends, company, food, laughter, tears, Thanksgiving!,” Stonitsch said. “Time shared with another. That’s what its all about.” The entire community is invited to attend. “Over the past two years we have so enjoyed bringing that homey feeling to the Ticonderoga fire house,” Stonitsch said. “From the moment you walk into the foyer, which looks like a country kitchen, to being escorted to the dining room of individual tables — adopted by families, set with their own tableware, beautifully decorated — the feeling is ‘

Community Thanksgiving dinner planned in Crown Point Event planned for Nov. 23 By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com CROWN POINT — Crown Point churches and businesses are again joining together to serve a community Thanksgiving dinner. The meal will be served at the
United Methodist Church’s Fellowship Hall on Creek Road on Wednesday, Nov. 23. There will be a continuous serving from 4 to 7 p.m. There will be no cost for the community dinner that will include turkey, stuffing, potatoes, vegetable, rolls and homemade apple and pumpkin pies. “We are doing it to ensure that those Crown Point residents who are alone or those who might not have
the means to celebrate Thanksgiving will have a traditional meal,” said the Rev. David Hirtle of First Congregational Church of Crown Point. “The meal is designed to rekindle friendship and promote fellowship in our community. “With the economy struggling, many of us realize that there are blessings that we can share to ensure that we, as a community, look to each other ’s needs,” he said.
