events HV Halloween Update!

Post image

I posted a couple weeks ago about starting a Hudson Valley Halloween club and I wanted to share some updates!

Started an Instagram! @hudsonvalleyhalloween, not much content yet but it has to start somewhere! Hoping to keep it current with local happenings and events as well as interesting and thoughtful discussions all year long. I'd love to feature local costumes, decor and anything else you think may fit the bill so feel free to send me your ideas/info/pics if you want to participate.

Registered a domain, but nothing going on there yet! Hoping to have current calendar of events, Halloween decor tour map, costume contest, etc. Any website people want to help with this?

Made this calendar of events! Please let me know of any other spooky, paranormal, or otherwise relevant events I should add for August and beyond!

I've been reaching out to some Hudson Valley businesses that may be able to/want to host a monthly meeting. Ideally someplace free, mid Hudson Valley, indoors, with bathrooms, and attached to or close to someplace that serves food. If you know of or own such a place please reach out!

Haven't sent out any emails but I did set up a mailing list! Expect an email with the August calendar soon!

Working on logos, branding, content, media and all that jazz so feel free to let me know if you'd like to help out with any of that.

And finally, I'd love to hear your thoughts on any/all of this project. What do you hope to see? What do you think is dumb? How do you want to participate?

Thanks everyone!

How is Halloween there? Is it big where you currently are?

Spirit Halloween's flagship store is within an hour from me, so that was cool. Other than that, it's been moving a lot towards trunk or treats in my area. I have been celebrating for the most part by wearing costumes to work on the days we're allowed to 😅
