Gearing up for another street party in Lake Placid By BILL ROGERS News-Journal Correspondent | Posted: Friday, October 17, 2014 8:00 am LAKE PLACID — Kathy Allaire has a lot of participants already lined up for next month’s Interlake Merchants Street Party but there is plenty of room for more. Merchants along Interlake Boulevard will host a street party on Friday, Nov. 7 from 6-9 p.m. that seems to be getting bigger each year. “Everybody is welcome to come and set up,” Allaire said. “It is open to all businesses. It gives them good exposure.” She estimated that the crowd for the event has been from 800 to 1,000 people. DJ Justin Morris along with 30 or more businesses will be participating. Many of the stores will stay open that night. There will be sidewalk sales and event specials such as demonstrations by lawnmower racers from NASGRASS (North American Society of Grass Racers and Sod Slingers), the volunteer fire department and a K-9 Unit from the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office. Boats, watercraft, classic cars and trucks will be on display. There will be a fruit and vegetable stand. The Big Red Bus will be there for a blood drive. Groups from Lake Placid Middle School and Lake Placid High School will be participating, including the LPHS Junior Class, Band Boosters and Honor Society. Allaire said there will be plenty of food, games, clowns, face painting and the annual chili cook-off. A portion of Interlake between Oak and Magnolia Avenues will be closed to permit pedestrian traffic and to accommodate special events that night. For more information call Allaire at 863-465-4646 or email [email protected].
