Event Sponsors

We couldn't have Hudson's Duck Drop without the generosity of Randy and Kelly! As our first sponsor and event location, the pub patio is always the perfect location for a fun summer evening.

We encourage you to stop by for a Burger Weekend (first weekend of every month in the summer) or to try Kelly's homemade cheesecake! The pub also hosts a number of food and drink pairings throughout the year.
