St. Williams on Long Point in Raquette Lake will host its annual Chicken BBQ and Silent Auction on Sunday, July 27th. Boat transportation to this historic site is available from the town dock beginning at 12:30 p.m. The silent auction offers a wide variety of donated items and gift certificates. The cost of the BBQ is $12. All are invited to attend.
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.
