September 2010

It's September and the good news (it really is good news, kids!) is that it's back to school time.  And that's always a good time to remind everyone to take a little extra care as you're driving, to be sure of the safety of children walking their way to school in the early morning hours and as they return home in the afternoon..  As the old saying goes "Safety first . . . save a child!".

September is the ultimate month for people visiting Saugerties.  And this year, there are more things going on in September than ever before. 

Tom Struzzieri and his HITS team have a huge event going on, culminating in their Sunday September 12th $1 million Grand Prix, and winding up with a concert by John Fogerty on the HITS grounds (Washington Avenue Extension).

The good folks at the Saugerties Area Chamber of Commerce have been working with the Cahill School PTA on their Hors'n Around Saugerties event, with the beautifully decorated horses making for interesting viewing along Partition, Main and Market Streets.  This will be culminating in their Saturday, September 11th Gala and Auction, where the horses are auctioned off, to make money for the PTA, for the Council of Churches, for the Chamber and for participating artists.  This ought to be a fun party, and a good way to support many worthwhile causes.

And of course, moving toward the end of September and into the beginning of October, there are the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival (Sept. 25th and 26th) and the Sunday, October 3rd Mum Festival.  Full of tradition and fun, these events offer yet another fine example of how groups of dedicated volunteers can make a BIG difference in a community.

See you in September, in Saugerties!
