Although I haven’t lived in Lake Placid for more than 50 years, this festival is near and dear to my heart because my dad, Captain Webb, was instrumental in starting the caladium-growing industry.  It’s a lot of home-grown fun.  Don’t miss it!  You might even see the Crackerboy in the crowd.  (Look for the hat.)
