Students from SUNY Potsdam, Clarkson University, St. Lawrence University and SUNY Canton are invited. The event is expected to include live music, performances, vendors, student organizations, games, giveaways, food and a scavenger hunt. The event will coincide with a village-wide garage sale, and participating businesses may offer student specials.
