Fourth of July Movie to Premiere on June 30th
Makeup is applied to an actress before filming of the Fourth of July Movie in Huletts Landing in 2021.
Happy “Fourth of July” premiering June 30th at the Beacon Theatre in New York city. Filmed right here in Huletts Landing last summer.
A new independent film produced and directed by comedian Louis CK. Screenplay by Louis CK and Comedian Joe List.
It is a dramedy – funny, poignant, real-life family shenanigans movie.
More to come! And yes, we will have a roving Huletts Current field representative at the premiere.
Big Fish That Did Not Get Away
It’s always interesting to see our fishermen friends hold up their “catch of the day.” Lake George has some of the best fishing around so it’s nice to see the folks who can reel them in. Many thanks to the Dennehy brothers for sharing these great pictures.
Editors note: The title of this post is slightly misleading because both fish pictured above are still swimming in Lake George because they were “thrown back” by our fishermen friends.
Court Grants Preliminary Injunction on Use of Chemical Herbicide in Lake George
New York State Supreme Court Justice Robert J. Muller has issued a preliminary injunction on the Lake George Park Commission’s planned use of the chemical herbicide ProcellaCOR in an effort to control Eurasian watermilfoil. The injunction was requested by the Lake George Association, Waterkeeper and fellow petitioners the Town of Hague and Lake George property owner Helena G. Rice. In his decision, Judge Muller noted the “high degree” of public interest in the case, including the large number of concerned citizens who attended last week’s court hearing.
Ian Brown named MWC Baseball Position Player of the Week
Following several astounding performances, Grinnell College’s Ian Brown ’25 has been named Midwest Conference Baseball Position Player of the Week.
Brown, a first baseman from Darien, Conn. (Greens Farms Academy), had not one, but two, walk off home runs for the Pioneers as they went 4-1 in the last week. His three-run shot against Cornell College in the bottom of the seventh inning finished off the Pioneers’ 16-6 mercy rule victory, and yet another three-run homer in the eighth inning three days later concluded the Pioneers’ 22-11 win over Monmouth College.
Brown completed his homer trifecta for the week the next day with one more three-run shot in a 20-9 win over Monmouth. For the week, he hit .611 by going 11-of-18 with 13 RBIs, nine runs scored and two doubles while posting a slugging percentage of 1.222. Grinnell put up 71 runs over the five-game span.
Ian is the son of Sean and Delphine (Knight) Brown of Huletts Landing.
