Thank you for joining us at the Countdown to 150, Sat. Sept 25.
What a wonderful community event we had! I want to thank all the folks who visited River Hook to inaugurate our "Countdown to 150." Special thanks to Win Perry, who gave a fascinating talk about the history of the Village and the events of the Centennial in 1972, to Concklin Farms for the delicious apples, and to all the volunteers who made the event possible.
The hardworking 150th Committee will be looking at all the ideas that were generated for events this coming year. Upper Nyack is a very special place and we look forward to working with all of you!
- Karen Tarapata, Mayor
