Performance Art: Hudson Celebrates With First Halloween Parade

The First Halloween Parade in Hudson, sponsored by COARC, Hudson Department of Youth and the Greenport Rescue Squad kicked off at 5:30 at 5th and headed down Warren Street to Promenade Hill Center where an all-ages Costume Contest was held.  It was preceded by trick-or-treating by young and old in Warren Street shops that sported a Halloween-Whale logo (only in Hudson.)  There was also a Haunted House for most and a  “Pumpkin Patch” (less frightening) for the little ones!
