Happy weekend, Happy April! We’re starting the month with a busy weekend! Lots happening, so let’s get to it:
Glens Falls Brewfest: Unlimited tastings from over 30 breweries, complimentary food tastings from 11 different restaurants, and live music by Dirt Cheap! It’s all happening on Saturday, April 1 from 4-7pm on the Arena Floor at Cool Insuring Arena. And bonus - all proceeds benefit Adirondack Theatre Festival and Feeder Canal Alliance, two not-for-profits doing great things in our community. Grab tickets here! Note that online ticket sales available until 1pm on Saturday, but tickets will still be available at the door.
Taps and Apps: Get a head start on Brewfest at Seasoned on Friday from 6-8pm! Sample amazing food by chef Matthew Bolton and the SUNY Culinary Arts School paired with awesome brews from Brewfest’s guest brewer, Battle Hill Brewing Co. There are limited tickets available for this event and as of this writing, there were still a handful left! Get tickets here!
Comedy After Dark: Date night! Grab dinner downtown and then head over to The Park Theater for Comedy After Dark on Friday at 8pm. As seen on Comedy Central and Saturday Night Live, Adam Mamawala also has two albums that debuted at #1 on the iTunes Comedy Charts. Sounds like fun to us! Grab tickets here.
Northwest Fest: It’s springtime on the slopes at West Mountain! They’re celebrating this Saturday and Sunday with live music and outdoor grilling at the Northwest Base. All trails and lifts will be open, and discounted $40 4-hr lift tickets available. Get the scoop here!
Drop the Gloves with ALS: You may remember Emily Noble from a My Glens Falls feature a few years back (and you probably also know her as the Muffin Top Baker!). Her husband, Marcus, was diagnosed with ALS in early 2021 at the age of 33. They’ve organized the first annual Drop the Gloves hockey tournament, which will raise funds for the St. Peter’s ALS Regional Center through team registration, raffles and silent auctions, and a GoFundMe page for those not able to attend the event but still wish to make a difference (click here to donate). Games will take place this weekend at the Glens Falls Recreation Center Ice Rink and you can expect live music, food trucks, and beer, of course! Get the details and schedule here!
From Emily: “Living with ALS is overwhelming and expensive as Marcus and I have found. We were fortunate enough to be connected to the St. Peter’s ALS Regional Center in Albany for help navigating this disease. The clinic helps us understand what to expect and how to be as prepared as possible. The St Peter’s Clinic has impacted the lives of so many people and after experiencing it first hand, we’d like to help give back to them.”
Enjoy the weekend,
