The 22nd Annual Long Lake Winter Carnival was held Saturday, January 13, 2024 at the Mt. Sabattis Recreation Area in Long Lake, NY. The morning started out with torrents of rain and sleet, but eventually made way for snow starting at noon. The Long Lake Highway Department joined the Parks and Recreation Department to clear parking lots and prep the staging area for the event. Despite the challenging weather, there was expansive turn out with new visitors, second homeowners and local residents flocking to the Mt. Sabattis Recreation Center for the outdoor event.
Events kicked off with the coronation of the Moonlighters Snowmobile Club Royal Family with King and Queen, Michelle and Tom Donnelly, year-round residents of the Town of Long Lake and members of the Moonlighter’s Snowmobile Club for over 30 years. Stan Kolonko of The Ice Farm installed 24 ice carvings for business sponsors participating in the outdoor Ice Garden. Long Lake Fire Department members provided lunch to all the guests.
The day ended with a bonfire and fireworks with the Long Lake Little Bus providing safe transportation after dark. Jerry Flanagan, the Little Bus driver transported over 100 riders clocked over 120 miles on Saturday night.
