Bed Races will Go On At A New Location
The Long Lake Parks and Recreation department received notification from the New York State Department of Transportation on Friday, June 25 that the permit for the 4th of July Bed Races to run on route 30 was denied. The 4th of July Bed Races were slated to run on the traditional route, last raced in 1992 from the Long Lake Town Bridge to the Long Lake Town Beach on route 30 at a distance of 2/10’s of a mile .
Town organizers quickly jumped on planning alternatives. The race has now been moved earlier to 5pm. Racers are to meet at the intersection of School Street and Route 30 for a mandatory meeting.
Traditionally as far back as 1982 the Bed Races have been held on the 4th of July on route 30 from the Town Bridge to the Town Beach. The last bed race was held in 1992. In keeping with tradition an effort was made to “bring back the bed races” to build up community spirit, attract tourists and to entertain the crowds amassing at the town beach in celebration of Independence Day.

“Radio Hams” from Long Lake join in national deployment
Public Demo of Emergency Communications June 26 – 27
Long Lake, NY May 14, 2010 – Long Lake “hams” will join with thousands of Amateur Radio operators who will be showing off their emergency capabilities this weekend. Over the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications during unexpected emergencies in towns across America including the California wildfires, winter storms, tornadoes and other events world- wide, such as the Haiti earthquake. During Hurricane Katrina, Amateur Radio – often called “Ham Radio” – was often the ONLY way people could communicate, and hundreds of volunteer “hams” traveled south to save lives and property.
When trouble is brewing, Amateur Radio’s people are often the first to provide rescuers with critical information and communications. On the weekend of June 26 – 27, the public will have a chance to meet and talk with area ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about.
