LAKE PLACID — Monday night’s scheduled power outage may have seemed like an inconvenience for some, but it was a party for others.

While the rest of the village was a dark and quite version of itself, the Lake Placid Pub and Brewery held its Blackout Party full of beer, glow sticks and music from DJ Alex “Funky Cold” Medina during the outage.

The pub offered a free drink to anyone who came with a head lamp or lantern.

Though many of the guests were from the Tri-Lakes area, a few were visiting and had no idea the blackout was even happening.

Nancy Zeigler of Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, said she and her friends weren’t aware of the power outage but were probably going to end up at the pub anyway, so the night worked out just fine for them.

Thanks to multiple notices from National Grid and the village government regarding the date and time of the planned power outage, some people not only handled the blackout but had fun with it, too.
