Hoosick Grange News

By

It was open meeting night at Hoosick Grange on April 25. It was preceded by a covered dish supper that was just delicious with a great variety of foods. After the supper we had a video on the Rutland Corkscrew Railroad. This was the part that ran to Johnsonville and beyond. We had already seen the first part of the video from North Bennington to Chatham. We had people comment on their train experience. We thanked Martha and Don Babbitt for the program.

“If the Town is not willing to purchase the Armory,” said HAYC3 Director Aelish Nealon, “then, as a backup plan, HAYC3 (Hoosick Area Youth Center and Community Coalition) is willing to step up and take ownership.” Nealon added that HAYC3 is a community based not-for-profit organization that is concerned with the welfare of the entire Hoosick community. “We don’t want to see the building be empty,” she said.
