On September 28, 2024, Ghent will hold its Community Day 2024, and all Ghentites and neighbors are welcome to attend. The day, free to all visitors, will run from 11:00am until 5:00pm, and will feature local musicians Joe Adee and the Ghent Band. Kids can enjoy a 100 foot obstacle course, tour Ghent Highway Department trucks and equipment as well as Ghent Fire Trucks, and many other attractions. Families can enjoy food from the Ghent VFW and Ghent Volunteer Fire Company Ladies’ Auxiliary. Local Ghent organizations and businesses will display their wares and services, and committees such as Ghent Climate Smart Committee and Harlem Valley Rail Trail will offer residents an overview of their efforts. Columbia County Sheriff’s Department will be onsite for child safety education. The Town Historian will present a fascinating look-back at the town’s past, and the Highway Supervisor will detail some of the larger municipal projects the Town has taken on recently.

All are encouraged to come out, catch up with old friends, meet your neighbors, and enjoy the local community.
