Food Drive Benefits the Anchor

The Schodack Democrats’ Annual Picnic was held at the Schodack Town Park off Route 150, Schodack on Saturday, Sept. 15 from noon to 5:00 p.m. 

The annual picnic is always a great time to socialize with friends and neighbors and it is a wonderful opportunity to meet the Democratic Candidates. As always, lots of food, music, a silent auction and more!  

The Schodack Democrats’ Annual Picnic is free and all are welcome. The group was also accepting donations of non-perishable food items that will be donated to The Anchor’s Food Pantry in Castleton.
