Frozen Fire & Lights Thank You

The Town of Inlet would like to say Thank You to all those who made the 11^th Annual Frozen Fire & Lights a great success!

At Fern Park, donuts were enjoyed around the fire.  The sledding hill was a very popular spot, and the ski trails were enjoyed by many.  The Inlet Public Library had visitors stop in for their book sale.  The Inlet Youth Commission had a nice turnout for their Noah’s Ark Animal Workshop held at the Inlet Town Hall.  Around 5:30 people started gathering around the huge bonfire at Arrowhead Park, where free hot cider, hot cocoa, donuts and Zweigle’s hot dogs were served.  At 6:45 PM the kayak raffle for the Alexandra Sutherland Scholarship Fund came to a conclusion with the winning ticket being drawn by Alex herself. The winner was Trudy Menzzennto of Randleman, N.C.   Thank you so much for all of you who contributed to this fund to help Alex and to honor Kirsty’s memory, and to all of the volunteers and local establishments who helped to raise a total of $5200 to further Alex’s education.  Promptly at 7:00 PM began the wonderful display of fireworks by American Fireworks out of Utica.  After the fireworks, many wandered over to Matt’s Draft House @ Screamen Eagle for Wine & Chocolate Sampling.

Thank you so much to Shelby McGill and her helpers Autumn Townsend and Shelby Townsend for the wonderful snow leopard in front the town hall at Arrowhead Park.  And thank you to the Inlet Highway Department for piling the “fresh” snow for them to work with.

The Third Annual Cardboard Sled Race was another success!  We had 24 entries this year!  7 awards were handed out to 6 sleds.  Thank you to Dennis Hudson for his master of ceremonies performance and for manning the starting line at the top of the Fern Park sledding hill.  Thank you to the following for their assistance with judging, timing, inspecting, registration and making sure the sleds stayed upright: Adele Burnett, Margie & Bruce O’Hara, Nancy Jennings, Patty Wittmeyer, and John & Andrea Frey.  We are looking forward to next year’s entries!

THE BUSKERS at Arrowhead Park – Saturday, August 4, 2012

   As part of Inlet’s Sunsets by the Lake summer concert series at Arrowhead Park, Dennis & Eileen Michael will present folk/pop/jazz artists THE BUSKERS on Saturday, August 4 from 6-8 pm.  This will be the fourth season THE BUSKERS are in the area and they put on a show you don’t want to miss.  So bring a chair or a blanket and enjoy a spectacular sunset with them.  (Rain location Fern Park Pavilion.)

The Buskers are Kathy Sommer on acoustic and electric violins and mandolin,  Craig Jaster on piano, bass, and accordion, Paul Hubert on guitars, and Kyle Tupper on drums, all with three and four part vocal harmonies. Their “roots” repertoire ignores traditional boundaries between jazz, folk, pop and rock and their sound is defined by deep respect for the craft of songwriting and arranging.  In performance, they play a lively fusion of their original acoustic folk/pop, New Orleans-influenced R&B, and jazz, and they always throw fiddle tunes somewhere in the mix.  All members write most of the songs in their repertoire.  A review in Fourth Coast Entertainment magazine describes THE BUSKERS, “Spunky, energetic, fabulously talented…see this band if you get a chance. I’d even call them luminescent. As well as versatile, passionate, and funny.”

The original group formed in 1993 after meeting at an open mic night in Bristol, NH.  Since then they have produced three recordings, gone on to represent New Hampshire at the Eastern States Expo, and perform at historic venues like Canterbury Shaker Village and at town bandstands, music festivals, and opera houses and coffeehouses in the northeast.

For serious BUSKERS fans, more information about this eclectic band and their 2012 schedule can be viewed on their website and blog at www.thebuskers.com.

This concert series is brought to you by the Town of Inlet, Eugene Melnyczuk, Dennis & Eileen Michael, Mountainman Outdoor Supply Co., JRWPhoto.com, the Central Adirondack Association, Overlook at Fifth, The Wine Shop, Red Dog Tavern, Screamen Eagle Pizza, Adirondack Reader, French Louie ADK Sports and Ken & Julie Biehn.
