Come celebrate Hoosick by watching your fellow community members’ jump on the sheets and push their crazy homemade bed mobiles down Main Street in Hoosick Falls during Hoosipalooza. Each team will be represented by a business, group, organization or family. There is no limit to the amount of decorations or spirit each team can boast. Winners will receive fame and glory throughout our community – and a trophy!
The Bed Race will begin at noon on February 4. The starting line will be at Barton Avenue and the finish line at Wood Park. Bed Race teams are welcome to set up their Bed Mobiles at 11 am in the Athletic Field parking lot. There is still space available for your team! Call 686-9050 for a registration form.
