If you're not already going to cheer on our Bluehawks at the section 2 championship game in Glens Falls, and you're not riding the free spectator bus that leaves 10am from Hudson High School, come on down to Oakdale Lake this Saturday to watch a bunch off wacky fools dress up in costumes to plunge into the icy depths!

We're nearly halfway to our fundraising goal ( oakdaleplunge.com ) and could use all your support. Big thank you to our business sponsors, many of whom have returned year after year to support our local community!
