Spooky Trolley Ride
Wednesday October 18th
The Rivertowns Chamber of Commerce presents a ghastly gathering of historical haunts and local legends. Join us for an eerily entertaining evening filled with the ghostly tales as told by Ghastly Grinn, your trolley guide through the spine-chilling streets of Hastings-on-Hudson, Irvington, and Dobbs Ferry.
Picture Book will be open late inside HudCo with special spooky books for the occasion, and HudCo’s bar will be open. Tickets required for the trolley, but it’s free to browse the bookshop and open to all to imbibe inside HudCo.
Family Fun Tour - 4:30 pm, Ghostly Tours (12+) - 6:00 pm & 7:30 pm
PB Book Club is the relaxed meet up hosted by Sara of Picture Book and Stephanie of Parson Brown at HudCo. Our next selection is Tom Lake by beloved author Ann Patchett. Tom Lake is a novel about youthful love, and the lives parents have led before their children were born. For a limited time, get the PB Book Club Bundle with the novel and the Parson Brown Candle, the signature scent of HudCo, as a discounted package. Book Club will meet on November 14th.
