To the editor:

Thank you, North Country New Year community!

What an incredible celebration! From live music and comedy to ice skating, carousel rides, bubble shows, fire dancing and more, Saranac Lake was bustling with laughter, smiling faces and unforgettable moments this New Year’s Eve. Folks came together from near and far to enjoy the magic of North Country New Year, and it wouldn’t have been possible without all of you.

We give huge thanks to everyone who came out, cheered on performers, supported our local vendors, volunteered throughout the evening and helped create the spirit that makes this event so special. We’re also incredibly grateful to our sponsors, venue partners, entertainers, volunteers and donors who helped bring it all to life. And since this letter is running in the Enterprise, we have to give particular thanks to staff reporter Chris Gaige, who documented the joy so beautifully in his article and photos published Friday.

To keep that North Country New Year joy thriving, we need more hands on deck! Want to help shape next year’s celebration? We’re looking for committee members and year-round volunteers with all kinds of skills. If you love this community and want to be part of something big and joyful, let’s talk! Fill out this form and one of our current committee members will reach out: bit.ly/4su5Xqz.
