We have a plethra of activities and events taking place this long weekend.

Now I know the children have sad faces because of school starting (and of course the parents cheering but shhhh…dont tell the children) but that does not mean the family can not have one more exciting getaway weekend. That is right Lake Placid is the place to be this coming weekend. From visiting all of the Olympic Venues to just kicking back on our white sanded beach and enjoying a kayak ride, you will have memories to last forever.

Wanted to mention the first ever IRISH FESTIVAL that will be held at the Olympic Ski Jumping Complex on this coming Saturday and Sunday August 30th and 31st.
