• Rum Runner Weekend Committee reported on what is planned so far for the September 13-15 town wide celebration. All local restaurants are being asked to have a $19.25 special of some sort that weekend, Babe Ruth baseball at Dynamite on Saturday mid-day, a Vaudeville and Burlesque Show is planned for Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening Speak Easy at the Panther Mt. Inn w/costumes, drink specials, (knock on the door and know the password to get let in), Sunday Car Show and Police race over Landon Hill, Moonshine specials at Adirondack Moonshine and lots more! We’d like to get every business in town to have their staff dress to the period (1920’s) that weekend so if people go into a store or restaurant, they feel like they’ve dropped back 90 years!
