\"\"<\/a>Space alien invasion indeed.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I was having lunch at Blue Moon Cafe in Saranac Lake and Aggie Pelltieri dropped by to talk up this weekend’s Winter Carnival parade, even offering a sneak peak of\u00a0 one distinctly awesome float.<\/p>\n

I’m forbidden to reveal details, but people are pulling out all the stops.<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, National Geographic rated Saranac Lake’s carnival as the second best in the world back in December.\u00a0\u00a0 Not bad bragging rights.<\/p>\n

The town is buzzing and so is our house, with wife Susan joining a new “Canoodler” drill team that will march and cavort in the parade with paddles while pretending to be from France.\u00a0 (If you come, that’ll make more sense.)<\/p>\n

My son Nicholas will march with the high school band and I’ll be up on the judge’s platform MCing the parade outside Harrietstown hall.<\/p>\n

As NCPR’s resident sci-fi-fantasy nerd, I’ve been thrilled with the theme’s of Winter Carnival the last two years, Medieval Times and now Space Alien Invasion.\u00a0 What could be better?<\/p>\n

The costumes have been awesome.<\/p>\n

So if you’re fed up with the lack of winter, come get your dose of Winter Carnival in Saranac Lake this weekend.\u00a0 Here’s the schedule of events.<\/a><\/p>\n

It looks like a good cold weekend…and even a chance for snow!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
