Other “activity zones” for this year’s Hudson Day festivities will stretch along Main Road and Cameron Ave. and will range from arts and crafts to outdoor musical performances to a market with local merchants.

A “Family Zone” will be located at Benson Park, featuring circus workshops, face painting, temporary tattoos and line dancing.

Other zones include open houses at municipal buildings. The fire department will offer visits of the station and the firetrucks. Various community organizations, including the seniors’ committee and environment committee, will be meeting with guests at the town hall. The community pool will also be holding a free swim.

Above all else, Hudson Day creates a “sense of community” that is cherished by attendees, said Laura McCaffrey, communications coordinator for the town. She added that event-goers appreciate the opportunity to see old friends, visit the shops, “and just take in the vibe of the village,” from noon until 5 p.m.
