And you thought Bridgefest 2026 was busy! 😂😂😂

❤️ THANK YOU, SARANAC! ❤️

Another Bridgefest is in the books!

What a lot of people may not realize is that this entire event is planned, organized, and executed by a group of about 10 volunteers. Yep…about TEN people behind the scenes working for months to make Bridgefest happen. Along with help from Saranac’s Department of Public works doing much of the heavy lifting (literally)

So, if you know one of those volunteers — say THANK YOU! Give them a high five, buy them a coffee, or just let them know you appreciate the time they give to our community. It means more than you know.

And while we’re talking about it…

💡 Have an idea for next year’s Bridgefest?
🙋 Think something could be done differently?
🎉 Want to help make it even bigger and better?

Come join us! We would LOVE more people, more ideas, and more helping hands.

The Saranac Community Association meets the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 7:00 PM at the library.

You don’t have to take on a huge job. You don’t have to know what you’re doing. Just show up, bring an idea, and be willing to help.

Bridgefest doesn’t just happen. Volunteers make it happen.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, sponsored, participated, attended, and helped make Bridgefest another great day in Saranac! ❤️

See you next year! 🌉🎉
