October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and members of People Against Domestic Violence (PADV) plan to march down Main Street in Cold Spring on Saturday, Oct. 22, to increase awareness, inspire hope and educate people on the issues of domestic violence. Marchers are asked to wear purple.

PADV will meet on the lawn of St. Mary’s Church at the corner of Main and Chestnut streets at noon and walk to the bandstand at the foot of Main Street accompanied by members of the Knights of Columbus, Hudson Highlands Pipe Band, Cold Spring Fire Department and the Walter Hoving Home.
