Today Show hosts Meredith Vieira and Ann Curry visited the Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing on Lake George last week where they broadcast a potato sack race with local children, fishing and other activities live. The show was part of The Today Show’s series “Today Show Takes A Vacation” which also visited Key West and San Antonio, TX.

Kate Johnson, director of the Lake George tourism department, said the number of visitors to the area is down this summer, but the arrival of track season at the Saratoga Race Course and the national TV exposure are “certain to bring more people here.”
