Dear Readers,

If you're in the mood to explore the Adirondacks this summer, then you've come to the right place. Once again, it's the time of year for ice cream, hikes to see whales and coral reefs, and colorful daylilies to take bloom. Make sure you keep safe this summer with our tick and mosquito surivival guide. There's one thing that's sure to shake the North Country at this summer's Mayor's Cup. Take a literary look at Plattsburgh's historic Air Force base, as we celebrate the tenth anniversary of its closure. And as alwas, enjoy the issue!

Sincerely,
Rachael Osborne
Editor in Chief
