Psychic Medium, Deborah Hanlon at Club Helsinki

Psychic medium Deborah Hanlon, who specializes in connecting people with loved ones who have passed on, will be in Hudson.

Hanlon was named Favorite Psychic Medium in About.com’s Reader’s Choice Awards in 2012. Hanlon discovered she has the ability to connect with dead people in August 2001. She has since provided readings for over 3,000 people all over the country.

Hanlon attributes most of her ability to events early on in her life, mainly the illness and death of her 4-year-old brother, Christopher, when she was only 3. Hanlon believes that it was because she was so young and still so open that she knew very early on that her brother did not “die” as everyone else saw it; she knew Christopher was always still around.

The Hudson Area Library presents “Folktales & Stories for Children & Families” with Pamela Badila. Mrs. Badila just completed directing and performing at “The Badila Family: A Celebration of Community and Culture,” a successful summer weekend at Hudson Hall. This artistic and cultural celebration included Mrs. Badila’s production of “Spirit of the River” based on a West African folktale.

“This library program will focus on tales throughout the world with a mix of reading many beautiful children’s folktale stories, telling folktales to represent the oral tradition they began in, and performing and doing crafts with the children based on what we’ve read and heard.” stated Mrs. Badila. This special story hour will give families the opportunity to explore stories, told through generations, that formed the traditions and ethics of particular cultures.
Pamela is best known as the matriarch of the Badila clan and co-founder, with her late husband Elombe, of the Diata Diata International Folkloric Theatre. This community theatre company is known for their percussion ensemble, featured annually at the Hudson Winter Walk event and many others in the Northeast. Pamela writes and produces for Diata Diata, and for many years has brought people together through the power of stories.

Wish You Were Here: A Look Back at Life in Hudson Through Vintage Postcards at Hudson Area Library

The Hudson Area Library presents Wish You Were Here: A Look Back at Life in Hudson Through Vintage Postcards.

The Hudson Area Library presents Wish You Were Here: A Look Back at Life in Hudson Through Vintage Postcards. This marks the library’s first ever History Room collection exhibit, and is curated by David Murphy of Hudson, former president of the library’s Board of Trustees and a member of its History Room Committee.

What did people do to connect with each other before telephones, internet, and instant messaging? Many sent postcards, even if it was to a friend or relative just a few miles away. Wish You Were Here examines and celebrates that era.

The Hudson Area Library History Room has collected an extensive set of postcards from this river city, most from the early 1900s, that tell charming personal stories about life here 100 years ago. The collection illuminates how essential this widely used method of communications was for travelers, family and friends in and around Hudson. It includes many street scenes of Hudson, prominent buildings such as the county courthouse, and parks such as Promenade Hill.

There will an opening reception on Thursday, September 6, which includes a presentation on the collection, hosted by Gary Sheffer, a native of Hudson. This will be followed by a wine and cheese gathering. The library will also have note cards and t-shirts for sale with an image of an iconic historic Hudson postcard.

Opening Reception: Thursday, September 6, 2018: 6 – 8pm
