Holly Jolly Harris: Harris Grocery Store Chosen for Christmas Movie Set Location

Dane Morton, owner of Adirondack Adventure Center and its neighboring convenience/grocery store, Harris Grocery, posted an exciting update on Facebook on January 24!

Morton shared the following message to Harris Grocery's Facebook page: "I got a Facebook message from a movie director last night around 8pm saying that their previous set location had fallen through, and they were looking for a general store to film a few scenes. Now here they are filming a Christmas movie at Harris Grocery. I was told it may be on Amazon Prime video once finished!"

Harris Grocery in Lake Luzerne is a classic country store and deli that serves up breakfast sandwiches, snacks, fishing bait, and other odds and ends you might want if you're camping at nearby Lake Luzerne State Campground, or partaking in one of Adirondack Adventure Center's activities.
