Memorial Day 2017

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States, which is set aside for remembering the people who died while serving in the country’s armed forces. The holiday originated as Decoration Day in 1868, after the Civil War when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans founded in Decatur, Illinois, established it as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the Union soldiers with flowers. By the 20th century, competing Union and Confederate holiday traditions, celebrated on different days, had merged, and Memorial Day eventually extended to honor all Americans who died while in the military service.

Memorial Day is also the unofficial start of the summer season. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the weather got that memo for Columbia County.

 

Whatever your plans for the day (and beyond)  include, if you know a veteran who is struggling with life, please call the Veterans Crisis Line, 1-800-273-8255.

 

 

 

Bipolar Express @ The Hudson Lodge, December 29

screen-shot-2016-12-19-at-5-01-35-pmJustin Vivian Bond and the Bipolar Band (Matt Ray, Claudia Chopek and NathAnn Carrera) are bringing their holiday-themed, cabaret-style show to the Hudson Lodge, in Hudson, on Thursday.

The Daily Beast described the show as, “A tale of two halves, the show begins as a sly and rollicking celebration of dysfunction and coping skills, and wraps up as a cleverly heartwarming Christmas pageant of sorts. Through it all, Bond’s engaging personality and quirky-yet-dignified stage presence infuse an eclectic set list of covers, holiday standards and original compositions with signature charm.”

Doors open at 8:00pm. Performance at 9:00pm, followed by Darkest Daze Dance Party hosted by Sammy Jo.
