What’s Up Peekskill? Put your white duds away.

It’s after Labor Day, so put thoese white duds away. It’s cloudy and cooler, and there’s so much going on. There’s the Peekskill PD & FD Run/Walk to benefit local scholarships, salsa dancing, the Nashkill music festival, and the usual highjinks around town. So get out and shake it P-Rockers!
