Local Events
This one is coming up
soon, so pay atten-
tion! July 2nd-5th is the
Hudson Valley Balloon
Festival! Balloons will be
launched Friday night,
Saturday morning and
evening, and Sunday
morning (all weather de-
pendent), from many loca-
tions around the val-
ley. For the best view of
the most balloons head
down to the Hudson River
Rowing Community Boat-
house at 6am Saturday
and Sunday. This is a
great event every year; its
always amazing to see the
sky filled with so many
colorful balloons.
Patients’ Point of
View
"When I started physical ther-
apy, I walked with a limp, had
trouble going up and down
stairs, could not run, and had
a dull pain throughout the
day. I now walk normally,
without pain, and started play-
ing racquetball again."
