What’s Up Peekskill? Open Studios!

Leave a comment

Peekskill Art Alliance’s annual Open Studios is this weekend. Get out and check out all our fantastic artists in studios, in homes, businesses and even in trucks. Yes, trucks. You can do a lot with a truck! I know a guy with a truck… You know, I don’t think Sam I Am ate green eggs and ham in a truck. In a car, yes. A boat, and with a goat, yes. But no, he would not, could not, in a truck. So with that knowledge tucked away, go see how our Peekskill artists P-rock in a truck.

What’s Up Peekskill? Autumn begins.

Leave a comment


Looks like it’ll clear up and be a nice early autumn weekend. Just in time, too, as Trinity Cruises (see link at bottom) is now offering Fall Foliage cruises. There’s Lego building at the Library and lots of live music. So get c’mon down and, as Confusius says (probably) – Peekskill Rocks.

What’s Up Peekskill? Hippiefest!

Leave a comment

What up P-Rockers? Hippies, karaoke, Lego, wine tasting. More stormy weather. If you can’t rock out with wine and legos and hippies and karaoke and thunder and lightening then you really need to get out more! Good thing Peekskill delivers this weekend!

Hey P-Rockers, Welcome to Memorial Day weekend! Get your white pants out… if you’re into that. Wish the weather was better, though — (Not my fault). But River tours are back, and we got lots of good stuff going — as usual! So get out and Rock!
