Lake Luzerne to host snowmobile race on thick ice after two-year cancellation

During the recent Warren County Board of Supervisors Committee Meeting on January 21, 2025, discussions centered around the operations of the Village Information Center and upcoming community events, highlighting the importance of local tourism and engagement.

The Village Information Center, managed by the Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce, serves as a vital resource for visitors and residents alike. It features brochures and information about various towns, including Glens Falls and Thurman, ensuring that local events and attractions are well-promoted. The center saw significant foot traffic, with 23,000 visitors from May to October, underscoring its role in supporting local tourism.

A key point raised was the need for clarity on responsibilities regarding the upkeep of the center and its materials. The chamber collaborates with the village to maintain the center, which is staffed by paid employees rather than volunteers. This partnership aims to keep the information current and relevant, enhancing the visitor experience.

In addition to the center's operations, Supervisor discussions included an exciting upcoming event: a snowmobile race scheduled for Saturday on Lake Luzerne. This event, which had been canceled for the past two years, is anticipated to draw attention and participation from the community, despite the short notice for advertising.

Overall, the meeting emphasized the importance of local initiatives in promoting tourism and community engagement, with a focus on ensuring that residents and visitors have access to valuable information and events that enrich the area. As the county continues to support these efforts, the collaboration between various organizations and local governments remains crucial for fostering a vibrant community.
