The celebration noted an ice castle built by local hands, families and friends.<br \/>\nDuring this celebration, the history of the town and all the people who have come and gone are remembered and celebrated. I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a workshop through the Saranac Lake Historical Society. The workshop discussed the Norwegian history of Saranac Lake and the specific people who influenced the area. Prior to this workshop, I had no knowledge of the specific names and\/or individuals who have come and gone in the town&#8217;s history. Many local townspeople stood up and shared their knowledge and stories of what happened in this town and where these individuals lived.<\/p>\n<p>Now as I stroll down the streets of Saranac Lake and look to the homes that are still standing, I remember the stories that were told and picture the images of the people who were once here.<\/p>\n<p>The art of storytelling seems to have gone by the wayside. Stories, events and personal experiences would be lost if not shared and passed down to the next generation.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, I thank all the individuals who still believe in this art and took the time to share their pieces of forgotten history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time of the year, the Saranac Lake Carnival once again celebrated its 116th annual tradition.
