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.

LGPC Chairman Bruce Young – Rest in Peace


In this photo from 2012, Bruce Young is seen with Lake George in the background.

It is with great sadness that I report that the Chairman of the Lake George Park Commission, Huletts Landing resident, and friend, Bruce Young, has passed away.

Mr. Young was, by far, the longest serving Chairman of the Lake George Park Commission, having been appointed and reappointed by different Governors from different parties to be Chairman. He led the advancement of many protections for Lake George and its users.

Mr. Young’s accomplishments in life are many, but he told me in many conversations I had with him over the years, that being Chairman of the Lake George Park Commission was one of the most important things he did.

He was devoted to Huletts Landing and Lake George in many, many ways. Mr. Young served for many years as a Trustee and Treasurer of the Mountain Grove Memorial church. His grandfather, Harland Foote, was the original builder of the church.

He will always be remembered as a leader in the conservation and protection of Lake George. He will be greatly missed.

When Mr. Young was reappointed for an additional term as Chairman, he told me: “When I look out at this beautiful body of water I realize that my job is to protect it, but while doing so, to always remember that our citizens are part of the Lake George story and that their legitimate rights need equal protection. It may be a quaint phrase, but I believe in maximum use without abuse. I believe that being appointed to three consecutive terms by different governors is evidence that the approach we’re taking is the right one.”

As information develops regarding his services, I will post.
