Happy New Year!

Were you here during the Christmas Holidays? Were you part of this free event with entertainment by the Mary Crescenzo Trio, holiday music with a jazzy twist? During our annual Christmas Party on Sunday December 11, the children of Peekskill had an opportunity to see Santa. Did you see Santa leave on his sleigh then see him pass by the moon? If you came by, you saw it all here. Happy New Year.

Remember, admission was FREE as are some of our events. Become a member and join us often!
