LAKE GEORGE - The New York State Association of Fire Chiefs convention will not be coming to Warren County next year.

The annual Fire Industry, Rescue & EMS (FIRE) expo was held in Lake George for the past three summers. Fred Monroe, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, said the county was notified on Tuesday that the convention would be held at Turning Stone Casino in central New York next June.

Shame, Glens Falls and Lake George region are really neat especially if you love the outdoors. I think that the ADK mountains are some of the best in the northeast. The problem is all of the tourists make that area a little scummy at times. I was looking forward to going this year and spending time on the lake where I spent about 6 summers

Very sad to hear this news. I thought Lake George was great this year - was looking forward to going again in 2009. I believe that the Turning Stone Convention Center is a much longer distance to travel for us Westchester people.

Yes it is sad the show has moved. Lake George is a great place. I will say allthough it is a ride the Turning Stone is a beautiful casino.
