Bill Williams writes at the WCTW-FM website the fate of Hudson's Flag Day will be decided Thu., Oct. 26. The nonprofit Hudson Flag Day Parade Inc. is in desperate need of more volunteers and community support. "They need more board members. In the grand picture, it's really not a lot of work, if there is enough staff and everyone is able to pitch in," Williams writes. Williams is the Flag Day Committee Media Chair. The 22-year community event is held every June, and includes a parade down Warren Street to the Henry Hudson Riverfront park where a festival continues into the night, with rides, food vendors, an air show and one of the largest fireworks displays in the Hudson River Valley. The organization estimates 10,000 to 12,000 people attend the annual event. The emergency meeting will be held 5:30 p.m., Thu., Oct. 26 at the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce Building on Front Street in Hudson.
