The newest addition to the walls of Charlie O’s Bar and Grille in Red Hook is a paper mache-and-chicken-wire recreation of Red Hook High’s beloved and somewhat amorphous mascot the Raider, done by Tivoli artist Joel Griffith. Griffiths said Charlie O’s owner, Mike Lueck, had been pressuring him to create a Raider for a while. The Raider, a Crusader-style knight, mimics the image found on the Red Hook Central School District’s home page and “the school utility van you see driving around town,” according to Griffith.
