"HORS'N AROUND SAUGERTIES...
A SUMMER LONG CELEBRATION"
May 23 - September 12

A special attraction this year in Saugerties is the Saugerties Area Chamber of Commerce-sponsored "Hors'n Around Saugerties" event, which features 46 fiberglass carousel horses in a community wide public art event.

Each horse is decorated by an artist in themes reflecting the Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial, and they are on display around the town from May through September.

On September 12, HITS will host the Merry-Go-Round Gala and Auction at HITS-on-the-Hudson. For more information on "Hors'n Around Saugerties," please visit www.welcometosaugerties.com
