Foster said the Hoosac Trustees were donating the Quilt to the Village in honor of the three great schools in the Hoosick area. They are Hoosac School, Hoosick Falls Central School and St. Mary’s Academy.

Mayor Borge said he was very pleased to accept the quilt as a symbol of collaboration in the greater Hoosick community.
