18th Acoustic guitarists Loren Barrigar and Mark Mazengarb will perform at the Thursday Evening on the Lake Series at St. Williams on Long Point in Raquette Lake on August 18 at 7 p.m.
Barrigar and Mazengarb share a unique musical chemistry seldom found among musicians.
The interaction between the two guitarists is as much a feature of their shows as is their world-class guitar playing.
The duo released their first duo album in May 2011, and last month were invited to headline the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Convention in Nashville.
The program is free and open to the public, but due to limited space in the historic 1890’s church, and the need for boat transportation to St. William’s on Long Point, a boat access only site, reservations are required by calling (315) 354-4265.
The barge leaves the Raquette Lake village dock starting at 6 p.m. and returns after the performance at approximately 8:30 p.m.
In case of a severe storm the program will be held at the Raquette Lake School on Rt 28.
A pie raffle is held each Thursday to help defray costs involved in hosting the entertainment series.
Dan Berggren will perform during Inlet’s “Sunsets by the Lake” Summer Concert Series on Saturday, August 13 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Arrowhead Park Lakefront.
Dan Berggren has been collecting, writing and singing folk music of the Adirondacks for the past 30 years.
He was raised in the mountains on the land farmed by his mother’s family and worked in the woods on a forest ranger’s crew as well as a survey crew.
Hearing stories and songs from local friends and neighbors, Dan has developed a style that captures the spirit of the mountains.
This concert is sponsored by the Town of Inlet, the Central Adirondack Association, Adirondack Reader and French Louie ADK Sports, and is also funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Regrant Program.
In the event of severe weather, the concert will be moved to the Fern Park Pavilion.
More information on the Inlet Summer Concert Series is available by calling Adele Burnett at the Inlet Information Office at (315) 357-5501 or go online to: www.iloveinlet.com.
All the signs are there. Back to school sales have begun and the leaves on some of the trees are already changing. I saw Halloween candy on the shelves at a Utica store yesterday.
Yes, it appears that it is time again for students to be heading off (or back) to their institutes of higher learning.
We’ve all experienced or heard the horror stories of dining hall food, eating pizza after midnight and the dreaded “Freshman 15”.
So what can our kids do to keep healthy and maintain (or lose) weight once they are on their own?
At the dining hall, the best approach is to use Continue reading

The Second Annual McCauley Mountain Music Festival took place this past Saturday, August 6. Regardless of what meteorologists were predicting for the weekend’s forecast, crowds braved the weather for the sake of the music.
Positioned between the grill area and the Biergarten, this year’s event began with Jon Liebing warming up the crowd under the side stage tent while The Nards featuring Paul Case did a sound check on the main Chalet Stage.
After Paul Case and the Nards finished their set, the audience was treated to a special collaborative appearance by Katie Keating and Jon Liebing at the side stage.
As Mark Doyle and the Maniacs took the stage, the rain started to fall gently down onto the field. Fans remained unfazed by the slight rainfall as they continued to dance and enjoy the music.
Front: Travis and Chip Kiefer, Felicity Davey, Nick Bankert, Maggie Morelli. In back are John Morelli and Gary Staab
