American Kennel Club Scent Trials at the Museum
May 7-8, 2022 • 10am-5pm • 117 Harry Howard Ave., Hudson • After the tragic events of 9/11, there was a push in this country, due to the increased demand for detection and search and rescue dogs, to increase focus on scent training and breeding programs domestically. Scent work is a sport that helps nurture and develop scent skills in dogs. Breeders can ‘prove’ their line’s ability to do scent work by earning titles. It is a seriously popular and exciting sport for everyone who trains and competes with their dog. It is also super fun to watch! So join us and the event’s sponsor, Albany Obedience Club, as we host American Kennel Club Scent Trials at the Museum. The scent work sport will take place inside and outside of the Museum building, with as many as 80-90 teams competing during the event! Also during this event, there will be a canine-inspired Scavenger Hunt in the Museum for kids. Free admission will be offered during the first day of the event (May 7th, Saturday) from 10:00am – 12:00pm. Museum general admission resumes on day two of the event (May 8th, Sunday).

They are at once, representational, abstract and emotionally expressive. Her gestural brush strokes reveal not only the artist’s hand on the canvas, but of her presence at the scene. An opening reception will be held on April 9th from 5 to 8 PM as part of the Hudson Gallery Crawl. Work will be on display at D’Arcy Simpson Art Works through May 14. • http://www.darcysimpsonartworks.com/

Hudson Valley Women in Business: Conversion Rate Optimization
Monday, June 13, 2022 • 6pm • Cost: $15 • Zoom • Are visitors to your website staying long enough to BUY? How do you encourage them to stick around? Conversion rate optimization (CRO) is the systematic process of increasing the percentage of website visitors who take the desired action — subscribe to a mailing list, request a quote, complete a purchase, fill out personal information, etc. Most viewers spend around two seconds on your website page, and there's an art to determining what your customer needs to see and feel in order for you to sell to them. Getting them to stay requires connecting to their buying motivations and enhancing their online experience. Learn how to do both from this month's speaker, Lauren Johnson of The Hyacinth Group. She'll provide step-by-step visuals to walk you through and there will be plenty of time to ask your specific questions. • http://HVWiB.com/events
