21 people attended this week’s meeting and we’d like to thank you all for getting involved, even a little bit, or even if you just come to listen! These meetings are fun and informative, AND THEY ONLY LAST ONE HOUR, GUARANTEED!!!!

When folks complain or make suggestions about the banner choices, or venues for events, or anything else the TLBA does for the community, the way your voice will be heard is if you take an hour out of your month and attend a meeting. We’re all busy, but the free coffee & donuts are great and it’s a very low key and enjoyable way to keep up with events & help out our communities!

Banners for Town Poles: Orders are coming in fast and if you want a banner send Cindy your choice and then get your design/logo to Garnet signs with check to Garnet signs for $160.50 to ensure your banner is completed and can be up by Memorial Day. We have +/- 50 orders in so far for all 4 towns. The Red Chair is currently unavailable in Brant Lake, Adirondack & Chestertown as the ‘first come, first serve’ promoted a lot of requests for those and not as many as the others….  The purpose of these banners is to ‘dress up’ our towns, show people what is available regarding recreational opportunities (this ‘theme’ was decided/agreed upon by both towns and the TLBA committee) and your purchase shows your support for the community.
Horicon Banner Holder: Committee will be meeting with Horicon officials to determine placement of a Town ‘Bulletin Board’ to be installed across from the lower dam to advertise events, in lieu of hanging banners on the bridge. Read more →

The March 23, 2018 Meeting of the Tri-Lakes Business Alliance took place at the Panther Mountain Inn, Route 9, Chestertown, New York 12817. The meeting was called to order at 9:02pm by President Don Butler.

All members in attendance introduced each other and their individual organizations.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade- President Butler stated that about 400 people attended this year’s event. There were performances at local restaurants that brought in patrons. A question from the floor by Helena Robbins asked why all restaurants were not able to participate in having performers. President Butler stated that it was a good parade, trophies will be added next year and we need to be sure that we are getting pictures at events like this, everyone was in agreement.
