Hello Hudson!
Winter Walk is today! Saturday, December 2nd – 5-8pm on Warren Street
Stop by Padrona on North 4th Street 5-7pm-ish and a half-Jewish elf will take an Instamax photo of us and put it in a holiday card. $5 and the money goes to Animal Kind.
Kudos to Lowes and all the volunteers and organizations who refurbished Santa’s Village on 7th Street Park! Check it out!
See you around town, Hudson!
