Looking forward to doing all the Fall things- pumpkin and apple picking, decorating the house with mums, hiking our local trails to see the foliage colors change and take in a football game. Fall is my most favorite season – there is nothing better than a cozy sweater and a pumpkin spice cookie!

The Cochecton Youth Group is looking for volunteers in our community who would like to decorate a trunk and hand out treats during our fall event on October 28th at 10:00 AM. 

This event is open to children who live in the Town of Cochecton and have pre-registered only; however, you do not need to have children participating to hand out goodies! 

If you are interested in helping to make our event successful and would love to see our youth dressed up in their Halloween costumes, please contact Heather Neidert at 845-796-6976.
