Here is the September 2026 Community Newsletter, From The Town Supervisor's Desk:

Hey there, Hoosick!

September certainly flew by. Between school starting back up, fall sports and activities in full swing, and beautiful late-summer weather making it easy to work outside, it feels like many of us haven't stopped moving! While a packed schedule can get stressful, the weather will turn soon, and outdoor work will become a challenge, so we’re keeping a positive mindset.

The fall season is always busy at the town offices, too. Budget season brings several extra meetings, all of which are vital to our community. The Town Board and I take the budget process very seriously because we know how much every tax dollar matters to Hoosick families. Our goal is always to provide top-quality services to our residents while remaining as fiscally responsible as possible regarding taxes. Yesterday, September 30th, I officially submitted the 2027 tentative budget to our Town Clerk, Holli. We have multiple upcoming meetings and hearings scheduled to review it, and we welcome your input. Hearing from you is never a nuisance, so I truly invite you to participate in the process.

Looking back on September, I’d like to highlight a very special event the Town Board was honored to attend. To mark the 25th anniversary of September 11th, the American Legion held a moving memorial ceremony right in Wood Park. Town Board members Bill, Jerry, Jackie, Chris, and I were all present to proudly represent Hoosick. I had the privilege of speaking on behalf of the Town alongside several other local speakers. The community band sounded amazing, and the atmosphere in the park was remarkable. Small-town pride and American pride were at an all-time high. On behalf of the Town, thank you to every group and volunteer who made this ceremony possible. Hoosick will never forget.

Looking ahead, please make sure to add these upcoming community events to your calendar:
Walter A. Wood Tractor & Agriculture Show: This Saturday, October 3rd, in Wood Park! It’s shaping up to be a beautiful day, so come on out and enjoy it.
Annual Town Halloween Parade & Costume Contest: Sunday, October 25th in Wood Park. We’ll gather at 5:00 PM, the parade steps off at 5:15 PM, and the costume contest winners will be announced from the gazebo immediately following. We had hundreds of residents join us last year, and I hope to see another great turnout!

Thank you for everything you do to make Hoosick a great place to live.

Sincerely,


Eric Sheffer

HOOSICK FALLS — The community’s signature celebration of local farm heritage returns Saturday, Oct 3. when the Walter A. Wood Tractor and Agricultural Show takes over Walter A. Wood Memorial Park from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Now a fall favorite for families and collectors alike, the show spotlights antique and vintage tractors, horse-drawn equipment and implements, working hit-and-miss engines, and contemporary machinery. It honors the village’s industrial roots in the Walter A. Wood Reaping and Mowing Company, which manufactured horse-drawn farm equipment in Hoosick Falls from 1865 to 1924.
At noon, the Burton Luke Tractor Parade will wind through village streets, showcasing meticulously restored tractors and farm equipment of all eras. Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy hayrides courtesy of JC Tractor of Hoosick Falls, plus the giant Pumpkin Bounce house and a petting zoo.
Food and fall treats will be on hand, including hamburgers and hot dogs from the Fuzia food truck. Vendors will offer seasonal décor such as pumpkins, gourds and hay stalks, along with other farm products. Guests can sample dairy products made with milk from Hoosick-area farms and catch the HF FFA Cow Plop.
Residents from Hoosick and surrounding communities are invited to enter tractors, implements, hit-and-miss engines, livestock and agricultural products.
For more information or to register, contact Kevin at 518-894-5035 or hoosickkid@gmail.com.
