Dunham's Bay Resort Hosts Great Chamber Mixer








Many thanks go out to the folks at Dunham's Bay Resort for their wonderful hospitality in hosting one of our Business After Hours Mixer's last evening. Sitting at the head of Dunham's Bay the view is simply breathtaking (and sure is good to see NO signs of ice!) and we could not help but feel that spring and the new summer season is around the corner. We had a very nice turn out of members and it was especially great to have three of our newest member businesses on hand; Adirondack Winery, Paychex, Inc-K. Delsignore and Ballooning Adventures! Our chamber mixers are a great way for members, prospective members and new members to meet, greet and network. I saw some great cross-marketing talk going on between retailers and hoteliers, accommodations and restaurant owners. That type of event is what a chamber is all about. Thanks again Rex Moon (Marketing Director) and Mark Childs (General Manager & Executive Chef) from Dunham's Bay Resort for making this event such a great one!

Hey...there are people out there!!

It is always great to know that somewhere, at some point in a busy day...someone has had a chance to visit our blog. It makes the time spent feel worthwhile for sure. Well, Lake George is coming alive slow but sure. In Bolton Landing there are still places with two feet of snow (like my backyard!) but in LG Village signs of spring are happening. The shop keepers are starting to restock, spiff up storefronts and the village crews are starting their rounds. I even saw some crocus blooming in Queensbury yesterday! We have several new stores that have opened over the late winter and a few more soon to open in spring.

You simply have to check out the new bakery on the side street going to the Mini-Chopper food store. Old fashioned bakery feel with simply luscious things to eat! Also new and soon to open will be Adirondack Winery on Canada Street. They are up in the new building opposite Shepard Park. Visit them at www.adirondackwinery.com. They are new members to the chamber and we wish them well.

In the next coming weeks LG Village will be hosting many tried and true events that bring in thousands of visitors. I will be posting details of event info soon so please come back to visit.
