As a bride-to-be this fall, I am hoping the summer will fly by. I know that sounds absurd, as summer is my favorite time of year and the child in me hopes that the season will never end, but for this one year, I’m hoping that the fall arrives quickly.
For those wanting to relish the season, this issue celebrates all things summer by offering an array of activities to keep you busy for the next two months. Listings of outdoor venue schedules in and around the region, July 4th celebrations, a variety of trip ideas for the family, a packing guide for camping, and much more.
Then there’s the food. What says summer better than burgers? William Dowd had the enviable task of seeking out the best burgers in the area. Read about his top picks. And Barry Sears, our wine columnist from Lake Placid’s Mirror Lake Inn, offers wine picks for summer barbecues. No, you don’t just have to serve beer at your summer parties!
For a different kind of summer activity, read an article by the ever daring Ed Lange. Enjoying his retirement from NYSTI, he is taking flying lessons…and lives to write about it! But these planes don’t have engines: they’re gliders. Not something you would ever catch me in, but kudos to him for living life to the fullest and daring to try new things!
