30TH ANNUAL PIRATE DAYS: Event features re-enactments, family festivities
ALEXANDRIA BAY — Cannon blasts,
sword fights and family fun mark another
10-day run of the popular Bill Johnston’s
Pirate Days beginning Friday.
The Alexandria Bay Chamber of Commerce and local business community welcome visitors for the festival, which marks
30 years this season.
As the story goes, Bill Johnston, the popular Thousand Islands pirate, returns to
his roots each summer to wreck havoc on
the village. He arrives on his wooden ship
and engages in sword fights with the town
guards in an effort to claim the town as his
own. When he has prevailed, he is granted
access to the town as the mayor presents
him with the key.
At 1:15 p.m. Saturday, the capture of the
pirate scouting party will start at Uncle
Sam Boat Tours. The guard and villagers
will arrest the pirates downtown and escort them to Scenic View Park.
At 2 p.m. Saturday and Aug. 14 there will
be a re-enacted invasion in which pirates,
led by legendary Bill Johnston, arrive in
their tall ship, the Lotus. Cannon and musket fire rock the village as the pirates invade Alexandria Bay in an attempt to take

Antique Raceboat Regatta slated Aug. 13 to 15
CLAYTON — The Antique Raceboat Regatta is scheduled Aug. 13 to 15 at the Antique Boat Museum’s harbor.
Early in the 20th century, the Gold Cup
Challenge was raced at Chippewa Bay, 15
miles downriver from the museum; those
early races were dominated by Dixie II, one
of the museum’s most valued artifacts now
featured in the “Quest for Speed” exhibit in
the Gold Cup Building.
This year’s regatta will celebrate the
10th running of these rare outboards,
classic hydroplanes and antique inboards.
The illustrious raceboats from those
early years will carve high-speed turns on
the flyby course clearly visible from the
grandstands at the museum.
The regatta opens to the public Aug. 13
and the day’s activities highlight raceboat
flybys and practice runs as well as speaker
forums featuring veteran boat drivers, mechanics and owners with personal tales to
share.
One-Design launches, known as the
“number boats,” will be on display at the
docks and the original No. 13 George Boldt
raceboat is on display in the museum lobby.
Open pits for public viewing will be

‘Virginia Woolf’ playing at Pendragon
SARANAC LAKE — The final offering on
Pendragon Theatre’s summer repertory

the heart and soul of a volatile marriage; a
searing night of dangerous fun and games.
The play stunned audiences and critics
when it opened in 1963, and was quickly
labeled a masterpiece. Pendragon’s production is directed by Anita Montgomery

Antique Raceboat Regatta slated Aug. 13 to 15
CLAYTON — The Antique Raceboat Regatta is scheduled Aug. 13 to 15 at the Antique Boat Museum’s harbor.
Early in the 20th century, the Gold Cup
Challenge was raced at Chippewa Bay, 15
miles downriver from the museum; those
early races were dominated by Dixie II, one
of the museum’s most valued artifacts now
featured in the “Quest for Speed” exhibit in
the Gold Cup Building.
This year’s regatta will celebrate the
10th running of these rare outboards,
classic hydroplanes and antique inboards.
The illustrious raceboats from those
early years will carve high-speed turns on
the flyby course clearly visible from the
grandstands at the museum.
The regatta opens to the public Aug. 13
and the day’s activities highlight raceboat
flybys and practice runs as well as speaker
forums featuring veteran boat drivers, mechanics and owners with personal tales to
share.
One-Design launches, known as the
“number boats,” will be on display at the
docks and the original No. 13 George Boldt
raceboat is on display in the museum lobby.

30TH ANNUAL PIRATE DAYS: Event features re-enactments, family festivities
ALEXANDRIA BAY — Cannon blasts,
sword fights and family fun mark another
10-day run of the popular Bill Johnston’s
Pirate Days beginning Friday.
The Alexandria Bay Chamber of Commerce and local business community welcome visitors for the festival, which marks
30 years this season.
As the story goes, Bill Johnston, the popular Thousand Islands pirate, returns to
his roots each summer to wreck havoc on
the village. He arrives on his wooden ship
and engages in sword fights with the town
guards in an effort to claim the town as his
own. When he has prevailed, he is granted
access to the town as the mayor presents
him with the key.
At 1:15 p.m. Saturday, the capture of the
pirate scouting party will start at Uncle
Sam Boat Tours. The guard and villagers
will arrest the pirates downtown and escort them to Scenic View Park.
At 2 p.m. Saturday and Aug. 14 there will
be a re-enacted invasion in which pirates,
led by legendary Bill Johnston, arrive in
their tall ship, the Lotus. Cannon and musket fire rock the village as the pirates invade Alexandria Bay in an attempt to take
