Today is World Earth Day. In Croton-on-Hudson, we celebrate on Saturday April 27 at Senasqua Park. Be true to your planet and bring the whole family.
Last year Earth Day, sponsored by the Croton Conservation Advisory Council, got rained out. The CCAC is back this year with a great program, and with a May 4 rain date just in case.

Note that the Chronicle is among the many vendors, and we hope to see you there. We will be happy to talk with you about what you like in the newsletter, what you don’t like, and the benefits of taking out a subscription to help support local journalism.
The Annual Croton Earth Day Celebration is set to unfold on Saturday, April 27, 2024, from 10 AM to 4 PM at Senasqua Park. This year's event promises an unforgettable lineup of performers that will captivate audiences of all ages!
Renowned Master Storyteller Jonathan Kruk, celebrated for his mesmerizing solo shows like "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "A Christmas Carol" sponsored by Historic Hudson Valley, will take center stage at 1:00 PM under the Gazebo. Join him for an engaging session titled "The Lore of the Hudson - Recycling, and Rollicking River Tales," where he will weave captivating stories, including "The Origin of the River" and "The Imps of Donderberg," accompanied by the lively tunes of Steve "Caffeine" Kelman.
Adding to the excitement, Janette Aiello from Little Genii Puppets will enchant attendees with two magnificent 8-foot parade puppets: "Ondine," the sparkling mermaid guardian of the Hudson River's waters, and "Gaia," the Earth Mother overseeing our natural world. These mesmerizing creatures will dance and interact with visitors, spreading joy and environmental awareness. There will be a variety of fun Earth Day crafts curated for kids, including an opportunity to make your own Ondine puppet.
