Winners First Float Night Cardboard Box RaceLong Lake’s first Float Night of the summer was a great success! The Yod Squad, Eric Peter with Live Bait, beach games, and the introduction of the cardboard boat races to the event proved to be a grand slam combination! The cardboard boat races saw 16 different teams enter to participate in an attempt to stay afloat the longest and win up to 18 different prizes donated by a variety of local businesses. The first official winners of the contest called themselves “The Baker Bunch” and consisted of Austin Baker, Autumn Baker, Alyce Baker, and Hannah Paige. They saw heavy completion from “Makayla’s Mob” which consisted of Makayla Itazzard and her parent’s, but fell short at the last minute. Missed out on the festivities? Don’t worry! There is another Float Night scheduled for August 13th! Want to participate in the Cardboard Boat Race? Contestants are encouraged to create their own boats at home and bring them to compete. Don’t have enough cardboard and duct tape? We’ll have some on hand to help you out.
Thank you to the sponsors:

Great Day Had by all in Long Lake, NY, July 4, 2010.
The Bed Races kicked off at 6pm on School Street. The DOT may have denied us for safety reasons and lack of detours, but the Hamilton County Sheriff and New York State Troopers were on hand to put their stamp of approval on the festivities. The Long Lake Rescue Squad pulled in with the ambulance and we were off to the races.
Eight teams gathered in the school parking lot.
The Rayome Family Entered with “Rayome University” Rumor has it a bed was snatched up at the dump and created and planned by the Rayome Crew.
The bed didn’t quite make it past the finish line.
Cellar Crew Faces Norsing Around
The Cellar Crew prevailed in that heat.

Strange intimacy of summer has arrived. Peeling off of tee-shirts, the reveal of a winter’s worth of Long Lake living, but when the temp rises, inevitably one has to strip off the old winter garb and give in to the call of the swimsuit, no matter how weird it is. Spend the day on the beach with the same friends more recognizable covered in Snowmobile gear than with sunblock. The top secret location of a beach known only to those folks with some kind of connection to the town. Perhaps a distant descendant of guide Mitchell Sabattis or a 7th generationer with relatives who summered long ago on the Northend of Long Lake, or relative newcomers (only 2nd generation) who have lived in town for 40 years… regardless, the 4th of July in Long Lake when the weather cooperates is a celebration of warmth and boats and dots of glisten. Wow look up there.. its a bird, its a plane… it’s a Helms. Now get thee to a hiking trail you post-traumatized winter body! At least I don’t have to pay taxes for my outdoor tanning day.
