It’s March Madness in the Adirondacks. No, we’re not talking about the NCAA basketball tournament; we’re referring to the time of year when things are muddy and gray with a damp chill in the air. Everyone gets a little cranky, and cabin fever starts to spread.
Luckily, there is no shortage of great stuff to do to get out of the house and shake off the winter blues. In fact, we are amazed at the numerous events and activities happening right now in the traditional “off-season.”
Here are some of our recommendations for this weekend. Be sure to check our events page for complete listings.
