'Choose Your Path' to Bring Health and Happiness to Children in Need

It's not everyday you're given the opportunity to forget life's challenges- but for one week at Double H, this is exactly what happens! In the fresh air of the Adirondacks, children with life-threatening medical conditions get the chance to enjoy life as it was meant to be.

This week the Double H Ranch kicked-off the 'Choose Your Path' appeal- a 6-week online fundraising challenge to support the various summer programs our campers look forward to throughout the year. These programs bring much-needed laughter and excitement to children who are living with medical challenges, and gives them a magical experience that can change their lives forever.

Our campers only get one childhood, so let's do what we can to make this one count! At Double H, we're all the same. And it's the power of your donation that makes this magic come to life.

The Adirondack Sports & Fitness Expo is this weekend at the Saratoga City Center, and looks like this year's event is going to be a blast! If you are itching to get outdoors and into shape, you should definitely check this out.

Over 100 exhibitors will be at the event, showing off all of the latest products they have to offer for your outdoor adventures this year. The event will also feature demonstrations, prizes, and some great gear sales!

Zippy's Crusade for Kids is a non-profit event to raise money for kids in need throughout the community. A tradition of the annual event is to surprise the recipients with the donations, which have been kept a secret until the event. Three area families will be very happy special guests at the presentation.

Inlet's dog sled races are exciting and beautiful, and to lessen the blow of this year's loss, I am sharing some of the most beautiful pictures of the races that I have seen so you can relive the beauty and feel as if you are actually there.
