Silent Auction  

Schroon Lake Association volunteers solicit special gifts and offerings from area businesses and entrepreneurs which can be used for the Silent Auction table at the Fair.  Here you can find all manner of treasures from a weekend at a local B & B, or a dinner at one of our area restaurants, or a professional massage, to gifts donated by Fair vendors.  Drop in at the Silent Auction Table from time to time as you wander through the Fair.  You may be the successful bidder on a real treasure!

And don't forget to visit the Schroon Lake Association booth at the Fair right next to the Silent Auction Table. We are selling tickets on our Limited Edition Hornbeck Canoe which will carry the Schroon Lake Association logo and the winner's name.  Only 200 tickets will be sold so be sure to get yours early!  Canoe tickets are $20 each.  You can also buy a colorful duck to enter in the Duck Race which will be held on on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.  What fun to watch the ducks race down Mill Creek to the lake.  Cash prizes are awarded to the three fastest ducks!  Next year we will have the Fourth Annual Schroon Lake Duck Race.  So plan to buy a duck at our booth when you come to the Fair.  At our booth you can also pick up a free copy of the fascinating historical booklet "Rescue of a Lake Called Schroon" by Lester Speiser.  We will still have those available next year if you missed getting one!

And remember, all the funds we raise go towards our support of lake projects.  This is a chance for you to get a reward for helping us!!
