Little WolfStock version 4 postponed until next summer

Another pretty river shot

For those readers who enjoyed that magnificent gray and orange shot from the photographic collection of Tall Paul Chartier, and there were many who liked it, here's another reflective beauty taken last October. It's a slightly different angle of Raquette River off River Road near Paul's house, with a detailed reflection of the evergreens that line the river and the clouds above.

Organizer Paul Chartier announced yesterday that Little WolfStock 4 will be postponed until next summer.

The music festival that has been staged every few years at Little Wolf beach from its pavilion has served as a giant reunion for many classes at Tupper Lake High School. The event each time has featured many musical acts by local performers and former Tupper Laker musicians to the delight of large crowds of classmates.

The talented musicians have performed for free for the big, day-long party.

“As much as it pains me to say this, it must be done. I am postponing Little WolfStock 4 until next year,” Mr. Chartier wrote this week. “I can't in good conscience host a party for a thousand people from all the country in Tupper Lake. This party should be a celebration filled with hugs and handshakes, not masks and gloves.

“Please stay safe and plan on attending next year!”

This year for the first time the July 25 event was to be sponsored by the Tupper Lake Lions Club, of which Mr. Chartier is currently president.
