SARANAC LAKE — Just because there won’t be a parade doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival with a button or two on your coat, designed by

It was 50 years ago that Trudeau started his famous Doonesbury comic strip while he was a student at Yale University, and 40 years ago that he started designing a button for each annual Saranac Lake Winter Carnival. Trudeau was raised in Saranac Lake and educated here through sixth grade. For the 1981 Carnival the folks at the chamber of commerce thought it would be nice to have the hometown celebrity design a button for Winter Carnival. They asked his father Dr. Frank Trudeau to ask him, and Garry agreed. He once told the Enterprise that only later did he realize he had made a long-term commitment.
