The Weekender: August 6 - 8

Hope you had a great week! Any big plans for the weekend? There’s definitely a blueberry pie in our future (here’s Bri’s recipe), and here are a few other things that caught our eye:

 
 
 

Gem Fest: Bands and artists converge this Saturday from 10:30am to 10:30pm at The Shirt Factory! Live music, live plein air painting, food trucks and more. Follow along here for details and updates!

Adirondack Theatre Festival: The second show in ATF’s lineup, Traffic and Weather, opens tonight! They’re calling it “a concert tribute to the Grammy- and Emmy-winning composer, songwriter, and producer that Rolling Stone says ‘had one of the most unique and busiest careers in pop’.” Details and tickets here!

 
 

Corn Maze: Fort Ticonderoga’s Corn Maze opens this weekend (which is always a reminder that summer is winding down, but we won’t discuss that now 🙃). They’ve got a larger, more challenging maze for adults as well as one for kiddos, and you’ll love the rest of what the Fort has to offer too (check out a recap of our visit here). Here are the details!

 

A Movie Under the Stars: What’s better than a Friday night movie in City Park? This week they’re showing a classic - The Wizard of Oz - at dusk. Bring the kiddos and a picnic blanket! Details here!

Have a great weekend!
