On behalf of the Lake Placid High School Interact Club and St. Agnes School, we want to extend our warmest thanks to everyone who supported this year’s Teddy Bear Picnic. Your presence and generosity helped create a day filled with joy, laughter and community spirit.

We’re especially grateful to the many individuals and organizations who helped bring the event to life. From Bluey’s appearance, courtesy of Saratoga Party Adventures, to the tender care given to our Stuffies by Lake Placid Animal Hospital, every detail added something special. The music from ADKaraoke set a fun tone for the day, while books from the Lake Placid Public Library and LPEA inspired little readers.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to Critters Hot Spot, Local Scoop Ice Cream Cart, Joe Ferris for his amazing caricatures, Keela Grimette for her creative face painting and Jessica Ballinger for capturing the memories through photography. We also deeply appreciate the Lake Placid Volunteer Fire Department and Police Department for being there, along with St. Agnes School staff, Tara Palen from the Arts Center, Little Blue House for serving as a Stuffie drop-off location, and Boy Scouts Troop 10 for their helpful support throughout the event.

Finally, to everyone who donated — whether large or small — please know that your support is what makes events like this possible. Thank you for helping us create a magical day for families in our community.
