The Otter Lake Fire Department held its annual Labor Day Steak Bake on Sunday, September 6th. Live music by Mobius was followed by the truck raffle drawing.
The winner of the truck was Mack Sands of Pittsford, NY. Second prize of $200 was won by Valerie Gaylord of Clay, NY and Pat Williams of Eagle Bay won the third prize of $100.
Open letter to the community:
As many of you are aware, we have lost another life too young. The town and community have been great in supporting everyone through yet another difficult time.
The opportunity arose for me to take part in “Climb for Life”, which is an organization that is raising money towards suicide prevention. As part of this initiative I will be climbing one or more High Peaks to help raise awareness and money towards suicide prevention. I will be doing this from September 5–13.
If anyone would like to make a donation, please email me at williamjohnson345@gmail.com. Thank you all for the support, this community has been nothing but supportive through the hard times we are faced with.
