This is a warning to future goers to Americade.
The town of Lake George, New York hosts the Americade Motorcycle Rally each year, and the town of Lake George takes in somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 Million dollars (an estimate from a volunteer of Americade) from the people who participate in the event. People spend their money in Motels, Restaurants, Gas Stations, Stores, Campgrounds, Super Markets and many other places in Lake George, I'm sure. Still, the town has come up with another way to suck money from people. During Americade there are thousands of motorcycles in the town and many of them park side by side on the main street, as far as the eye can see. Along the main street, there are parking meters. In each parking meter space there are usually five or six motorcycles parked side by side. Now, the Town of Lake George has seen fit to hand out parking tickets to every motorcycle that does not display a "Pre Payed Parking Sticker". No Warning, No Signs announcing you need to feed the meters during an event as big as Americade. When you come into the town during Americade you see thousands of bikes parked along the curb and anyone would assume that you don't need to pay the Quater for Fifteen minutes, but that's not the case. You would think that the Town of Lake George would allow free parking for the bikers that hand over some $40,000,000 , but it looks to me that the Town of Lake George is too greedy to do that.
