RENSSELAERVILLE — Rensselaerville will hold its annual town-wide picnic on Sunday, June 10, from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at the Bayard Elsbree Park on Route 145 in Preston Hollow to celebrate the unity of its five hamlets: Cooksburg, Medusa, Preston Hollow, Potter Hollow, and Rensselaerville.

The town council created this event as a way to bring residents together to share a meal and build community spirit. Hot dogs and hamburgers, homemade salads, and desserts will be on the menu. There will be music and information tables hosted by town businesses and organizations.

The Albany County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit will give demonstrations. The volunteer fire companies and the ambulance corps will have vehicles and representatives on hand.

The American Legion will hold a ceremony around the flag area at 3:30 p.m. to honor Rensselaerville residents who are veterans and active members of the armed services.

There will be plenty of games and activities for adults and kids, including a playground, horseshoes, and a coin search. Disc jockey Richard Tollner will provide music.

All current and former Rensselaerville residents are invited. Those whose last name begins with A through M are asked to bring a salad to share; those whose last name begins with N through Z are asked to bring a dessert to share.

Businesses and organizations that want to host an information table may contact Margaret Sedlmeir at 518-239-6282.
