It was a fabulous day in Lake Placid at the historic 1980 Olympic Center Arena as volunteers took a seat to raise funds for North Country Life Flight. It was the inaugural "Sit Down, Smack Down," an event sponsored by WSLP-FM 93.3. In less than 30 minutes, energetic and motivated volunteers sat in every one of the 7,700 seats in the Arena! Among the spirited volunteers taking a seat for Life Flight, were U.S. Olympians, the Lake Placid High School Honor Society, Life Flight volunteers and Tri-Lakes politicians. In fact, WSLP was trying to get a friendly competition going between the Mayors. Tri-Lakes politicians supported the event in full force.
