What's going on around town this month?

Trunk or treats, harvest suppers, craft fairs, haunted trails. October in Hyde Park is packed and half of it never makes it onto a website.

Post your event below and we will share the ones we can get to.

And if your group needs a sign or banner printed for it, we can usually turn that around in a few days. Just ask.

Christmas ship-by dates are out. Save this one.

Christmas is Friday, December 25. These are the carriers' last recommended days to ship so it arrives in time.

These are recommendations, not guarantees. Earlier is always safer, and the cheapest option always needs the most runway.

Not sure which one fits your box? Bring it in. We price all four carriers side by side and tell you the real last day for where it is headed.

Peak color is coming. Here is where we watch it.

Three spots, all close. The Walkway Over the Hudson, because 212 feet up changes what you are looking at. Route 9G north, which is the quiet drive nobody tells the tourists about. And the FDR grounds, where the trees are old and the crowd thins out on a weekday morning.

Where do you go when the color turns? We are always looking for one more.

Halloween signs and party banners.

Trunk or treat. School party. Haunted trail. Church fall festival. Your own front yard, if you go big.

We print yard signs, full-color vinyl banners, directional signs, and window vinyl right here. Weather-rated, grommets set, ready to hang or plant.

Order by October 20 to be comfortable. After that it gets tight.

Bring a file or a sketch. We will take it from there.

Hello, October.

Busiest quarter of the year starts now. Holiday cards, foliage traffic on Route 9, Halloween signs going up, and the first gift boxes headed out of here.

We like this stretch. Everybody who comes in is working on something.

Open Mon to Fri 9 to 6, Saturday 10 to 3. Come say hi.

Holiday cards. Yes, already.

October is when smart people order holiday cards. December is when everyone else panics.

Bring us a photo, even one off your phone. We print, you approve a proof before we run the batch, and they are ready in days. We can address and stamp them too if you would rather not do 80 envelopes at your kitchen table.

Family shot, the dog, the new house, whatever you have got.

Walk in or call 845-483-7447.

Holiday shipping deadlines are closer than they feel.

Last day of September, so here is your early warning. International holiday deadlines start hitting in late November. Domestic ground deadlines land the second week of December. Every year people find out the week of and pay triple for overnight.

We will post the exact 2026 dates in October once the carriers publish them. For now: if you are shipping overseas for the holidays, start thinking about it in the next few weeks, not the week of.

Save this post. We will tag it when the dates come out.

Tag a Hyde Park business that deserves a busy fall.

The summer tourist rush is over and the holiday rush has not started. This stretch is when local shops feel it most. Tag a Hyde Park business you want to see thrive this fall, and go spend ten dollars there this week.

We will do the same. Drop the names below.

Heading south for the winter? Rent a mailbox first.

If you are one of the folks who disappears to Florida or the Carolinas from November to April, do not let your mail pile up in a box at the end of the driveway. Rent a mailbox here.

We hold everything, accept packages from every carrier, and text you the minute something important shows up. Forward it to you on request. Around $40 a month, with 3, 6, and 12-month plans.

Set it up now so it is done before you go.

845-483-7447 to reserve.
