Set Up for Americade and Warrensburg Bike Week
A pictoral time line of the effort to setup for Americade and Warrensburg Bike Week
Each year I look forward to the Memorial Day weekend. Not only because it is a celebration of those who served our country but also because it indicates that Americade and Warresnburg Bike Week are just around the corner. Maybe it is just me, but I get excited waiting to see when the vendors show up and when preparations start for these two events.
I thought it would be kind of cool to create a pictorial article with a time line to show how the vendor areas for both Americade and Bike Week morphed from vacant areas to the well populated venues that we would be visiting in the near future.
To make following this article a little easier, we will define the eight areas that we covered. They are:
- Post Office - The vacant lot North of the Warrensburg Post Office on Main Street. This is a Warrensburg Bike Week site.
- QVN Sales - The vacant lot North of Rob's Motorsports on Main Street in Warrensburg. This is a Warrensburg Bike Week site.
- VFW - The open lot North of Stewarts near the VFW on Main Street in Warrensburg. This is a Warrensburg Bike Week site.
- DEC Beach Road - The Department of Environmental Conservation parking lot for the Million Dollar Beach on Beach Road in Lake George and the Battle Ground Park. This is an Americade site.
- Beach Road Parking Lot - The parking lot on the side of Beach Road below the Fort William Henry in Lake George. This is an Americade site.
- RBR - Roaring Brook Ranch Resort on Route 9N in Lake George. This is an Americade site.
- Alexander Funeral Home - Main Street in Warrensburg, This is a Warrensburg Bike Week site.
- Leather Outlet - Route 9 South of Lake George Village

From start to finish it is an amazing process that has been perfected through years of practice. Even if it is mundane for those who are doing the set ups, personally I find it very interesting. Besides, I like work, I could watch it all day.
