Cold weather doesn’t deter ‘early birds’ from bargain shopping at Wbg’s great sale By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
WARRENSBURG | On Oct. 5 in the pre-dawn darkness, four men stood beside lower Main Street in Warrensburg, cradling paper cups of hot coffee in their hands to warm them up from the sub-freezing weather. Their myriad of vintage goods — including glassware, hardware, door knockers from the 1800s, bizarre electronics, and other oddities culled from basements and attics — were on 20-or-so tables under seven huge tents on a quarter-acre beside lower Main Street. While they worked, “early bird” shoppers at Warrensburg’s annual World’s Largest Garage Sale browsed through the eclectic array of artifacts despite the lack of light — and the heavy fog rolling off the Schroon River that obscured their vision even more.

1870s-era Miles Thomas House said to be ‘safe haven’ on Underground Railroad By Thom Randall CORRESPONDENT
WARRENSBURG | More than 80 local residents attended an Oct. 1 Warrensburg Planning Board meeting — the most in recent history — many of them decrying plans of a New Orleans-based developer to demolish a historic home on Main Street and replace it with a Dollar General store. All but two of the local citizens speaking at the meeting objected to the plans to tear down the 1870s-era Miles Thomas House that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and replace it with a rectangular metal-sided one-story store with a 27-space parking lot on the southern side of the building.

Lake George Oktoberfest street party set for weekend Participants in the festive public party enjoy locally brewed craft beer, socializing, savory Bavarian food rousing German music, and streetside sales of artisan craft works as well as family activities. Four or more varieties of local craft beers produced by Adirondack Brewery are served up in the middle of Canada Street in this free festival that had its full debut in 2012 and became an instant sensation. Each year, the crowd that attends typically joins featured performers in singing German songs and dancing — and many attend in traditional German garb. Adult activities feature a keg toss competition. Children’s activities include pony rides and carnival attractions and more.
LAKE GEORGE | Featuring spirited Bavarian music, dancing, frivolity and chilled steins of German beer, Lake George’s premier fall street festival is to be held this weekend.

For eight years now, Canada Street, its sidewalks and adjacent Shepard Park have fi lled up with area residents and visitors enjoying the ambiance of a European street fair.
