Sacred Heart School had their first week of A-Maze-N-Fun on Saturday.  All ages were having fun from hayrides, kid games, and going through the corn maze on John Hartley's property on US-127 south of Medina Road, across from Vreba-Hoff II Dairy, from 3 PM to 7:30 PM.  Come join Sacred Heart School this Saturday as the kids can go through the corn maze to trick or treat at the several stations in the maze.       Photo by Jeaniene McClellan      

INTERNATIONAL WALK TO SCHOOL DAY
After postponing the event a week due to the weather, Hudson Area School students participated in the  on October 18.  Over 550 participants, including volunteers and parents, made the trek across the street from the high school to the elementary.  The majority of Hudson students are bus riders due to the rural setting of the town and wouldn't get a chance to walk to school otherwise.
