This vibrant weekly event, brought to you by the organizers of Lake George Village Oktoberfest, is set to take place at 1 Canada Street, Lake George, NY 12845, in the parking lot at High Peaks Distilling. The market will run every Wednesday from June 19 to August 21, 2024, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. with an added bonus of Happy Hour from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at High Peaks Distilling, featuring craft cocktails.

This exciting market offers an array of enticing features for both vendors and attendees, with entertainment for the whole family including vendors, food trucks, pony rides and more. Vendor applications are now being accepted! Apply by completing the online Vendor Application: https://forms.gle/rjNaGc4iCA7AWTNG6 . Contact Bonnie Decook at [email protected] for questions. Note, farmers selling fresh produce grown on their farms and Lake George businesses with brick and mortar locations may have vendor space for FREE!

• Extremely reasonable pricing for vendors! Special incentive offers to local farmers and to Village of Lake George business license holders (No charge for vendor fees).
• FREE parking on site to all Vendors!
• FREE parking on site to all Customers/Attendees!

Bringing together farms, local artisans, crafters, distilleries, breweries, and entertainment, this market celebrates the rich tapestry of talent and creativity within the local community.

"We're thrilled to introduce the Lake George Wednesday Market, providing a platform for local producers to showcase their goods and fostering a sense of community in the heart of Lake George," said John Carr, owner of Adirondack Pub & Brewery and High Peaks Distilling. “Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to support local businesses and artisans while enjoying a day out with family and friends. It’s going to be a lot of fun!”

‘The main portion of the dam is intact’: Officials issue Panguitch Lake update

PANGUITCH — Officials on Wednesday released updated information regarding the status of the Panguitch Lake dam.

According to a joint news release issued by Garfield County, Panguitch City and Utah Department of Public Safety, the issue with the potential dam was first noticed Monday evening by members of the West Panguitch Irrigation and Reservoir Company.  

“Crews inspected the dam and found that due to high water levels and ice pressure, a 2-5-foot expansion section of the Panguitch Lake Dam has started to tilt as well as developed some cracking, causing concern that the top 2-5 feet of the dam section could be compromised,” the news release states.

“The main portion of the dam is intact,” the statement adds, noting that the affected area is an expansion that was added to the top of the dam sometime in the 1930s or 1940s.

Even if the dam were to fail, only the top 2-5 feet of water in the lake would breach through, the statement adds, noting, “A complete dam breach is not likely or anticipated.”

The risk level remains at Level 2, according to the release. 

“As of now, the breach risk is at a level 2 of 3 levels, as designated by the irrigation company,” the statement says,.

Level designations are as follows: Level 1 – unusual event; Level 2 – potential dam failure situation; and Level 3 – urgent: dam failure imminent.

The 17-mile stretch of state Route 143 between Panguitch town and Panguitch Lake remains closed to traffic, and the lake itself also has been closed to fishing as a precaution.

A public meeting is scheduled for Wednesday evening at Panguitch High School starting at 6 p.m., during which officials are expected to share the latest updates and answer questions from residents. The meeting will be streamed live; to access, click here .

Wednesday afternoon’s news release also outlined several mitigation measures that are being taken, including the following:

• Releasing water to lower the level of the lake. At the current rate of incoming and outgoing water, it could take 8-10 days to get the water below the affected area.
• Adding material to the dam to support affected dam sections.
• Trenching the reservoir ice to relieve pressure on the top section of the dam.
• Clearing water pathways to prevent any debris fields and stream overflows.

The release also notes that if a breach were to occur, homes and properties on the western portion of Panguitch could be affected by flood waters. If such a failure does occur, traffic and evacuation plans have been established.

Meanwhile, Panguitch City remains fully functioning, open for business and not under evacuation orders, the news release adds.

Utah Department of Public Safety is assisting Garfield County, Panguitch City and other state departments to disseminate information, provide traffic control, and coordinate community activities.
