LAKE GEORGE - Lake George is springing to life on this Thursday before Memorial Day.

Bars are being stocked.

Fresh coats of paint are being applied

And road work is being finished up.

It's all happening just in time for the area to welcome an onslaught of visitors. The resort village's long-time mayor says it's important to keep things fresh.

"We have to keep doing something every year to make it interesting for people when they come here so when they go back home they can say it isn't just the same old place," said Mayor Robert Blais.

This year, the changes might be harder to find. They're wrapping up the Canada Street sidewalk project. Beach Road has a fresh new finish, and crews are preparing and planting sod.
