Vasilow's Confectionery to Host Chamber Business After Hours

Hudson, NY – Join the Chamber to celebrate Vasilow's Confectionery's 5 th anniversary during the Business After Hours on Thursday, November 15 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. Vasilow's is located at 741 Columbia Street in Hudson.

Vasilow's Confectionery specializes in fresh, small batches of chocolates, nuts, and confections made with the finest natural ingredients and chocolate available. In fact, it's the same chocolate brothers Louie and Jim used in 1923, when they opened their store and made available to the residents of upstate New York some of the finest candies ever created. In 1969, after years of hard work, and countless hours spent over a copper kettle, which regularly reached temperatures of 325 degrees, the brothers reluctantly agreed that it was time to retire. In 2002, Vasilow's Confectionery was reborn, much to the delight of "old-timers" and "first-timers" alike. Two generations later, times may have changed, but their commitment to produce candy of superlative quality has not. Having had the privilege of observing true masters creating their finest offerings is a secret unto itself, and the endeavor to replicate the treasures crafted by them has been a tremendous undertaking, one which has not been taken lightly.

Since its inception eighty years ago, customers have always associated the Vasilow's name with excellence in quality confections. Although their location today is a few blocks away from the shop where Grandpa and Uncle Jim started it all, the commitment to provide their customers with the freshest, finest, and best tasting candy available remains unchanged.

Business After Hours' offer excellent networking opportunities for area business people. All members of the business community are invited to attend this business event. There is no cost to attend but guests are encouraged to contact the Chamber at (518) 828-4417 if they plan to attend.
