Hudson Oakdale Plunge 2022, Mar 5

The Plunge is back with an icy cold splash on March 5th!

The Plunge is back with an icy cold splash on March 5th! The festivities begin with a Costume Contest at Noon, and plunging commences immediately after. 

This year we’ll once again be playing it safe. Brave hearted plungers will jump into Oakdale Lake’s frigid water in staggered shifts, and spectators will only be allowed outdoors for everyone’s safety. You can also enjoy the show via livestream in the cozy comfort of your living room. A link to the livestream will be posted closer to the event. See more details about the safety plan on the FAQ page.

Donations support two hugely important Hudson institutions that promote safe recreation in and around the water! Proceeds are split evenly between the Hudson Youth Department Waterfront Program and the Hudson Fire Department’s Water Rescue and Dive Team. The Dive Team uses its share to upgrade aging equipment, and continually train their all-volunteer team, keeping our entire community safer. The Youth Department’s share goes towards Lifeguard Training and expanded hours for free summer fun on the beach! Learn more about our local heroes HERE.

Here’s how you can support these two great organizations:

Virtual Staged Reading of two chilling radio dramas from Suspense Theater: “The ABC Murders” and “August Heat”. Presented by The Two Of Us Productions the award winning theater company based in Columbia County NY, in collaboration with Friends Of The Copake Grange.

In “The ABC Murders” we meet Alexander Bonepart Cust, a remarkable character, created by England’s noted thriller author, Agatha Christie.  A mild-mannered character whose initials were ABC.   And ABC was stamped also upon the large railway timetable he always carried.  But there was nothing so odd about that detail since no traveler in the British Isles would dream of planning a journey without consulting this famous railway schedule, the ABC

In “August Heat” we are introduced to James Clarence Withencroft, who has been irresistibly driven to draw a picture of a criminal in the dock, immediately after the judge had pronounced sentence.  The picture is remarkably detailed, but he does not know this man!   Walking on a hot summer day, James suddenly comes face-to-face with the man in the picture! 

This will be a zoom presentation, free for all, but registration is required to obtain the zoom link.

DATE/TIME: Saturday, February 26, 2022 / 7pm

COST: Free, donations gratefully accepted

REGISTRATION: Required for show link
