Events and entertainment for President's week are ramping up here in Lake Placid. When the Northeast schools let out for the mid-winter vacation time, Lake Placid rolls out the fun.
If you arrive for an early start to the weekend, take your honey out for Valentine's Day. There are numerous options for celebrating the big day at area restaurants. Browse our dining pages for some ideas and check out special promotions. Live entertainment also abounds all weekend at various pubs and bistros.
Beginning on Friday, Lake Placid Center for the Arts presents "Comedy Theatre - The Complete World of Sports (abridged), a lively comedy that will delight every non-sports fan in the family. The Complete World runs Feb. 15 - 17, and again Feb. 22-23. Show time is 7:30 pm each night. Arrive early and take in the North Country Regional High School Art Show in the lobby gallery.
If you're in a competitive mood, enter the 47th Annual Lions Club North American Toboggan Championships on Saturday, Feb. 16th. Held annually on the Lake Placid Toboggan Chute, anyone can enter and you can even bring your own sleds, although sleds will be provided if you don't have your own. Registration starts at 6:30 pm and sliding begins at 7 pm. Get a four person team together (the heavier the better!) and show your stuff.

The Wild Center will kick off Presidents Week on Sunday with an animal tracking event. Learn which animals make which tracks in the snow. Bring pictures of your tracks and stories for Vince Walsh to help identify for you. It all starts at noon and culminates with a walk around the Wild Center property to find tracks for you to ID. The Wild Center has a full schedule of events for the entire President's Week. The Center is open throughout Feb. 14 - 24, from 10 am to 5 pm, with special events every day.?
Whiteface Mountain will also play host to a profusion of daily activities and events especially for the President's Week skiers as well. Check out the list of special events and live entertainment on tap at the mountain.

Lake Placid Ice Review is on tap at The Olympic Center on Saturday, Feb. 16. This figure skating extravaganza will feature 2011 US Champion Ryan Bradley, World Competitors Kim Navarro & Brent Bommentre, 2012 US Junior Silver Medalist Ashley Cain, select members of the US Intercollegiate Champion Dartmouth Figure Skating Team and a special appearance by the Vermont Children's Theater on Ice.
On February 23rd in our neighboring regions, Schroon Lake will host its 2nd Annual Chili Cook Off, and Fort Ticonderoga's Battle on Snowshoes Re-enactment. Both well worth the drive from Lake Placid for the day! Make plans to visit during the mid-winter break and you'll find lots to keep you outdoors or taking part in the numerous events on our President's Week schedule.
