5th Annual Family Festival -- Summer FUN at its best . . .

If you missed the 2009 HHLT Family Festival, you missed quite a party -- the music, and food all conspired to make it a summer afternoon to remember. More than 300 residents and visitors of all ages joined us at the Claudio Marzollo Community Center of Philipstown to enjoy the music of Stacy Labriola & Louie Miranda, as well as Poughkeepsie bluegrass band NO BRAKES, have a terrific BBQ dinner, and enjoy the outdoors. Unfortunately, the Sleep Over Under the Stars had to be cancelled due to thunder showers. Join us this year and keep your fingers crossed for good weather!
