Happy Mid-October!
Normally, we would be in the midst of prep for one of our favorite events of the year, Merchants Trick or Treat. Sadly, this year the City of Hudson and Merchants of Hudson Board decided, two days ago, that the construction on Main Street makes it too dangerous to participate in this event. Despite the fact that there is currently no construction north of Clinton Street, Main Street has been asked not to participate. We understand that this is a last-minute decision and knowing people have already been planning costumes, we will still be having our costume contest as advertised in our beginning of the month newsletter. Anyone that comes in on the 27th with a book-related costume will be entered in a drawing to receive a Learned Owl gift card. There will be one prize for adults and one for kids.
As the construction proceeds, I'm sure we will continue to encounter disappointing situations such as this. We will do our best to manage each one with the concerns of the City as well as the best interests of our valued customers in mind. Thank you for your support, and happy reading!
- Kate
