Town Talk

Now that the holidays are over, our attention is focusing on what’s ahead.

New Year’s Day brought a partying crowd to Lake George for the New Year’s Day Polar Plunge. The event helps support charities in the area, as well as bolstering the stressed budget of the Lake George Winter Carnival, the Polar Plunge’s sponsor.

Next up for the Carnival committee is the annual Lake George Winter Carnival Gala, to be held Saturday, Jan. 28 at Dunham’s Bay Lodge.

Tickets are now on sale at Prospect Mountain Diner, Duffy’s Tavern, Mario’s Restaurant and Tina’s Hair Affair.

For 51 years, the Carnival gala has been the premier winter social event in the Warrensburg-Lake George area.

Tickets are $45 each in advance, $55 at the door. The entry price includes sit down dinner at with entertainment by Richie Ortiz and deejay services by Total Entertainment — plus 50-50 raffle and a silent auction.

This year, longtime volunteers Ed and Kathi Kokalas are being honored for their years of selfless service.
