Hudson’s annual Yellowstone Trail Heritage Day is set for October 12th. Enjoy a day’s worth of historic celebration that starts in Hudson and travels across St. Croix County to other Yellowstone Trail communities.  Highlighting events in Hudson are a vintage and classic car show at Lakefront Park, a history speaker, geocaching, history display and storytime at the Hudson Area Public Library.

The Octagon House Museum will host an Artisan Fair including local handicrafts such as rosemaling, quilting, jewelry, felting and making moonshine.  There will also be mini museum tours and a Yellowstone Trail fashion display.

My Sister’s Garden will be the site of a craft fair, clearance sale and booya bazaar.  A pre-event canvas party will also be held at My Sister’s Garden.  Audrey Martin will be offering a class to paint a fall maple leaf on Tuesday, October 8 starting at 6 p.m.

Everyone can drive east on the Yellowstone Trail through St. Croix County and visit history displays at the libraries in Roberts, Hammond and Baldwin.  Prizes, including $100 in cash, will be awarded to those winning the first ever Yellowstone Trail poker run through the county.  In addition to the Yellowstone Trail information booth in Lakefront Park, poker run players can check in for their scorecards at the Hudson Area Public Library, Dick’s Bar & Grill and Ziggy’s.  Roberts stops include the Hazel Mackin Community Library and the Sidetrack Saloon & Grill.  Hammond stops are the Hammond Community Library and Cheap Andy’s Saloon.  The poker run stops in Baldwin will be the Baldwin Public Library and the Baldwin A&W.  All stops on the poker run are historic buildings, have connections to the Yellowstone Trail or will host history displays.  Check each location for hours.
