Francis Thaire Bryant, Billy Demong and Craig H. Randall will be inducted into the hall, which can be found inside the Conference Center at Lake Placid.

The Lake Placid Hall of Fame began in 1983 and has inducted more than 140 individuals, as well as the members of the 1948 U.S. Olympic four-man bobsled team and the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team. A plaque commemorates each member.

Bryant is remembered for managing Lake Placid’s first ski shop, Thaire’s Ski Room, and supporting the ski industry in Lake Placid for nearly 50 years. Bryant was a member of the Lake Placid Ski Club and helped expand skiing opportunities in the region.

Demong grew up in Vermontville and began ski jumping in Lake Placid. He is a five-time Olympian in the sport of Nordic combined, a merger of ski jumping and cross-country ski racing. At the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games in 2010, he became America’s first Olympic gold medalist in a Nordic sport, winning the large hill individual competition. Also at those games he anchored the U.S. team to a silver-medal finish in the four-man relay.
