September 2017 - Hudson Valley FACS Food and Fitness TourThe Hudson Valley FACS Food and Fitness Tour was enjoyed by HVNE members on Tuesday afternoon, September 19. After hiking The Walkway over the Hudson participants feasted on menu items from Lola’s Café, Poughkeepsie. John and Michaela shared the history of how a small sandwich shop has grown into a bustling catering business in less than a decade. Delicious food, outstanding customer service, and a varied menu focused on locally sourced ingredients – a definite stop during your Hudson Valley travels.
