Two people clear snow off of the ice of Pontiac Bay on Lake Flower in Saranac Lake on Jan. 12 so the ice can be used for the Ice Palace. Construction on the Palace begins Thursday.
(Enterprise photo â Elizabeth Izzo) SARANAC LAKE Work on this year’s Winter Carnival Ice Palace will begin Thursday, but a small team has already been putting in long hours in the cold to prepare the ice for harvesting. The weather has been uncooperative and there is a global pandemic, but neither of these obstacles is stopping the Ice Palace Workers 101 from coming up with innovative ways to go forward with construction.
The 2021 Saranac Lake Winter Carnival poster, designed by Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau SARANAC LAKE Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau has released his poster design for the 2021 Saranac Lake Winter Carnival. Using this Carnival’s designated theme, “Mask-erade” which Trudeau spells with the more traditional “Masquerade” the poster shows multiple “Doonesbury” characters with different face masks representing various features of the Adirondacks. Trudeau, who was raised in Saranac Lake, has created the Winter Carnival poster design since 2012 to benefit the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival. He has also designed an annual button for the Carnival since 1981. This year’s buttons are not yet available, and their design has not yet been released.
