HOLE IN ONE! BIRDIE! EAGLE!

We are in the midst of the fall season and even though the leaves are changing, there is still time to hit the greens. Thats Right! The local golf courses are still filled with freshly groomed green grass perfect for the golfing enthusiast in all of you. (Do not forget the 19th hole is always up everyones fairway…hehe!)

I bet some of you have forgotten the great golf package that yours truly, MS. DEAL MAKER has for this fall season. (If you have I am sobbing inside..no just kidding). But seriously there is a great midweek golf package that is not to be missed. It is our great and wonderful LINKS & DRINKS GOLF PACKAGE. For $99 per person per night you can experience a day of golf at either CRAIGWOOD, WHITEFACE INN OR LAKE PLACID CLUB MOUNTAIN COURSE. Before the day starts on the course you can enjoy a hearty breakfast at CHARLIE’S and finish the evening off with a glass of wine or beer at the cozy T-BAR LOUNGE or the ever so popular ROOMER’S NIGHT CLUB. Yes, this is a great deal and still have time to see all the great sites in the Lake Placid Region. Please fill free to visit our website www.golden-arrow.com and get caught up on all the great packages we are offering.

Everyone head over to this great colorful area and stop into the Golden Arrow and tell them Ms. Deal-Maker sent you to swing those golf clubs. You will be glad you did.

P.S.
Almost forgot do not forget about the upcoming ski season and I will fill you in on the great ski packages in the future.

COLORS ABOUND! COOLER NIGHTS!

Yes, that is right Autumn is in the air and mother nature has been taking her yearly course of bringing cooler evenings. The leaves are starting to brighten all of the treetops and colors are abound. What a perfect time to enjoy a colorful panaramonic view of all the High Peaks in the Adirondacks. Of course, there is no better place than our very own Lake Placid!

RICH YOUR TOURGUIDE wanting to let you know about the perfect spots to hit for these great views and colors. First off why not take your vechicle down Rt. 86 to WHITEFACE MOUNTAIN and up the Veteran’s Memorial Highway. The views from the peak of Whiteface are breath-taking and the colors are so beautiful on a clear day. This is a historic 8 mile highway that you will sure not want to miss! (a nice cold beverage at the top is always the best…lol..j/k) If you do not want to waste the gasoline than I am sure that the Whiteface Gondola Ride will be right up your alley. Sit back and relax to the top of Little Whiteface and enjoy the views from this pristine mountain.

If that is not enough for all of you leaf peepers then I suggest to head out on Rt. 73. Stop at the Ski Jumping Complex and enjoy a chairlift ride to the 120 tower and then hop onto a 26 story elevator ride to the top. From there you can enjoy the views of several of the High Peaks from the Skydeck. (Not for the light headed person who cannot stand the heights…but def. take the challenge because the views are phenomenal)! Who knows you may even catch a weekend where they are ski jumping off the 90 meter tower!

Okay! So these are a few spots to catch that foliage and believe me there are many more to see. For further info about these sights and hours of operation please visit www.lakeplacid.com. What are you waiting for head to our quaint village and enjoy the colors of fall because they are starting to look spectacular. This tour guide is off to another task. (My work is never done but hey I enjoy it). Night all!

Are you thinking about that time of the year again? Yes, it is only four months away but I am sure that in the back of your mind you are thinking what to do and what to get. RICH YOUR NEWSCASTER here to tell everyone that yes it is definetly time to think about that upcoming holiday season. Now I know what you are thinking (what is this man out of his mind, it is way to early to think about the holidays the children just went back to school) but I figured it is time to hit on a special event that will take place in Pre-December.

The Lake Placid Village and ORDA are organizing a great event that will be taking place on the weekend of December 5th through the 7th. It is going to be called THE HOLIDAY VILLAGE STROLL and will be featuring many winter activities and festivies to get you in that Holiday spirit. Not only can you get in that much needed shopping for the Christmas season but also spend some much valued time with your loved ones in a magical wintery place. (Mother naturing permitting of course on the snow…we hope we hope..hehe) Also, quick reminder to not forget to visit the NORTH POLE at Santa’s Workshop on the weekends starting around Thanksgiving. Your children will not forget it!

So keep your eyes and ears peeled, as the time gets closer, yours truly, will give you the low down on this festive activity. For further information about this upcoming event that is coming in the near future please visit our website or www.lakeplacid.com. Get those reservations in for this exciting weekend as you and your family will not want to miss this pre-Christmas event. Who knows the Big Red Man himself may stop and pay a special visit! If not then I promise that moi will come down the chimney darning the red suit….that would definetly be a sight to see. Well, for now have a great fall and we will see all of you back here in December for this great event!
