This final tournament of the 2011 season also marks the end of Lake Champlain’s tenth year of welcoming pro anglers to the Adirondack Coast. “Lake Champlain is always a favorite stop among our anglers, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be visiting with the Walmart FLW Tour stop in September,” said Kathy Fennel, FLW Outdoors president of operations. “The incredible hospitality extended to FLW Outdoors and our anglers is one of the reasons we continue to come back year after year.”

“We at Plattsburg are of all kinds and all creeds. We are rich and we are poor. We came from the fashionable avenues of the great cities. We have come even from overseas. The four winds of the earth sent us together, practically every vocational pursuit has its candidate. Into the melting-pot we went. There were no formalities.”

February is Carnifest Month

Adirondack Winter Carnivals Kick-Off February’s Line-Up of Festivals

I know it kills everyone to look for things to do every weekend. It looks like every corner of the Adirondacks is having some sort of “event” next month. Strange how the suffix “-stock” never made the list.

Given so many to choose from, I thought a map would help. Plus, I threw in a couple bonus Carnifests and a planning chart.

(Large Map)
1. Colton Winterfest 2. Cancelled – Rotary Winter Carnival 3. Lake George Winter Carnival 4. Massena Winter Carnival 5. Canton Winterfest
6. McCauley Mt Winter Carnival 7. Saranac Lake Winter Carnival
8. Ogdensburg River Shiver 9. Empire State Winter Games
10.
Indian Lake Winterfest 11. Raquette Lake Winter Carnival
12.
Hague Winter Weekend 13. Long Lake Winter Wacky Week
14. Inlet Frozen Fire & Ice

February is Carnifest Month

The intrepid Carnifest fans could enjoy for 18 days in a row!!

If anyone has better links for these, I’ll take them.
