Tom Casey reports in the Register Star plans are underway for the second annual Bangladeshi Festival, Sept. 2, and organizers have now secured financial support from the city of Hudson. “People had a good time and they’re asking to do more this year,” said Hosneara Kader, one of the event’s organizers.
