The 3rd Annual Adirondack Camp and Home Show to be held June 10, 11 and 12 at the George T. Hiltebrant Recreation Center in Old Forge is slated to feature over 40 vendors showcasing their lines of home improvement and beautification products.
New to this year’s show is Empire Masonry Heaters of Scottsville, NY which produces do-it-yourself-friendly masonry heaters, masonry heater veneers, and wood-fired ovens in kit form.
A masonry heater is a partial- or whole-house heater which operates by capturing the heat generated by a quick, hot wood fire lasting just a few hours, then releasing the stored heat over the course of a day.
It provides the same amount of heat as a traditional wood stove, while burning for 10 percent of the time and using only one third of the wood of a traditional wood stove.
A representative will offer demonstrations of the heaters and the wood-fired ovens.
A food concession featuring pizza and other items cooked in the wood-fired ovens will be provided by the company.
Other highlights of the show include a presentation by a representative of NYSERDA on Friday at 2 p.m. and a seminar at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Keeping Deer Out of Your Garden.
At 2 p.m. on Saturday, Town of Webb Codes Enforce-ment Officer Andy Getty and Brian Grisi, local planning assistant specialist for the Adirondack Park Agency (APA), will present a joint seminar on the subject of boat houses and bunk houses.
New York State fishing guide/outdoor photographer/author Spider Rybaak will offer a presentation on fishing at noon on Sunday.
Raffles will be conducted throughout the weekend, the proceeds of which will benefit area not-for-profit organizations.
Among the raffle items is an original watercolor by nationally-known artist JC Parker of the Saratoga Springs area. Proceeds of the raffle will benefit the general operating fund of View, the new arts center in Old Forge.
The Camp and Home Show is sponsored by Brooker’s True Value Hardware, Marvin Windows and Doors and the Central Adirondack Assoc-iation.
Hours for the show are Friday from noon to 8 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission and parking are free of charge.
