LAKE GEORGE — Mirth Films announced Annie in the Water and Glass Pony as headlining acts for its inaugural Wild in the Trees Music & Skate Festival at Lake George Skate Plaza at Charles R. Wood Park on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1 and 2.

The two-day event features local music and skateboarding competitions to celebrate the community’s effort to embrace and raise money for the Lake George Skate Plaza. All ticket sales from Wild in the Trees will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House of the Capital Region.

The lineup covers the musical spectrum from jam bands to punk, alternative and more, featuring Annie in the Water, Glass Pony, Neon Avenue, El Modernist, The Sugar Hold, The Hauntings and The Skunches.

The skateboarding competition, sponsored by Seasons Skate Shop, will feature a range of different events. All competitions include a spot-based jam session, best trick, high ollie, game of S.K.A.T.E and Skate -or- Dice. For more information, visit Mirth-Films.com/WildInTheTrees.

“Wild in the Trees is our way of paying homage to all efforts made to raise money to build the Lake George Skate Plaza while embracing all the incredible musical talent regionally and beyond,” said Frank Cavone, publisher and owner of Mirth Films, a music news/entertainment outlet that specializes in original video content and live streaming.

Local skateboarders approached Lake George with the idea of erecting a skate park in town in 2008. After several town board meetings that included testimonies from skaters, family members and community leaders, the town encouraged advocates to start raising funds.

Through coin drops, spaghetti dinners, benefit concerts and grant writing, skateboarders raised nearly $100,000 before a skate park was designed in 2014. Construction on the Lake George Skate Plaza began a year later.

Back in 2008, local skateboarders in Lake George, brought to the town’s attention the need to have a skate park. Through various town board meetings and the creation of a skateboarding committee put together by skaters, family members and community leaders, it was time to raise money to make the dream come true.

Cavone, who is also an avid skateboard enthusiast, said the park gives kids “a safe place… without getting in trouble.”

Vendors will include Adirondack Pub and Brewery, The Barnsider, The Stone Stash, ValJean, Heroes Hideout, Hypoluxo Skateboards, Jes Turco, Minescape 19, Hyper Saturation, Null Void, Upstate Coffee and Posterity Glass and Pop and Punk Co.

The event will feature multiple bands a day, beverages, food, vendors and more, from Saturday Oct. 1 to Sunday, Oct 2, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tickets cost $20 each. To purchase tickets, visit  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/387911703347.
