Comments from Kim ...
T hree quarters of the way through February and the sun is shining!!!  Snowmobilers are using the prospect mountain trail, West Mountain had a fantastic Fire on the Mountain event, Whiteface mountain is filled with skiiers and Winter Carnival is in full force... Winter in the Lake George Region is as it should be (although it is currently a bit warm).

I am still out on the travel show circuit and headed for the NY Women's Expo at Siena College this weekend. (Feb. 25 & 26). If you are in the Albany area this weekend, stop in and see me at booth 124. Next weekend we are headed to Foxborough for the AAA Southern New England Show, usually a hugely attended event!  Just think of all the prospective visitors we have educated on our region.

We had an absolute BLAST at Tubby Tubes (our February Business After Hours Mixer). If you were not there, you MISSED OUT!! Do yourself a favor and go check it out. Bring the family, gather your friends or plan a group outing yourself.. You will NOT be disappointed. Check out fun photos and videos on our facebook page!  If you are interested in having your business host a mixer, please give me a call so we can get you on the schedule. Next up .. March 15th from 5:30-7:30 we will be at The Adirondack Pub & Brewery on Canada street.. upstairs in the new Barrel Room!  I hope I see ALL of you there!! 

Our membership continues to grow! If you have a business you would like to see join our chamber, please email me their contact information and I will get in touch with them. Thank you!


Until Next Time, 
Kim
