As usual there was a large crowd for the Town of Hoosick Lions Club 51st Annual Penny Hunt in Wood Park. [Read more…] about Hoosick Lions Club Penny Hunt
Letter To The Editor – You Are Not Speaking For Me
To The Editor:
In regards to the Hoosick Falls Armory issue that has become a point of contention in our community. The simple fact is that communities and cities everywhere are scaling back services as well as spending. Areas of Detroit, Michigan, have essentially been abandoned because the city can no longer afford to provide services such as water or care of roads because of a lack of revenue. Is Hoosick Falls any different? [Read more…] about Letter To The Editor – You Are Not Speaking For Me

Letter To The Editor – A Letter From The Hoosick Supervisor
Dear Concerned Citizen:
I greatly appreciate you reaching out to various members of the Board for their thoughts on taking possession of the Armory. Personally my love for the building is enormous, the architectural layout of the building to start with is one of a kind.

Letter To The Editor – A Hidden Agenda?
To the Editor:
I was dismayed to read your account of the Hoosick Town Council meeting held on February 29.
