Every month, village businesses stay open late and offer special activities and discounts. The theme for February’s First Friday on Feb. 7 is “Valentine’s Day.” The event runs from 6-9 p.m. at participating businesses. For more information, visit Saugerties First Friday on www.Facebook.com.

Artist Ze’ev Willie Neumann’s Gumby and Pokey will be featured in parade around the village beginning at 6:30 p.m. The sculptures were created following the theft of a previous Gumby from a West Saugerties property last October, which was featured on an episode of The Colbert Report on Feb. 4.
