Saugerties, New York (May 16, 2007) - HITS is proud to announce that Le Canard Enchainé will host the Grand Opening party for the 2007 HITS Saugerties series of horse shows on Friday, June 1.
Le Canard Enchainé Restaurant opened in 1996 and was immediately recognized not only as one of the best French restaurants in the region, but as one of the best restaurants regardless of genre. Owner/Head Chef, Jean-Jacques Carquillat brings an abundance of experience in the food preparation industry and many renowned food critics have recognized his enormous talents.
The party will begin at 7 pm and will feature a variety of splendid foods, as well as an open bar. "We have the best customers in the world and we want to give them a great party to start the season here in Saugerties," said HITS' National Marketing Director John Eickman. "Le Canard was a perfect choice as a partner for this event. They have fantastic food, a great space and they are conveniently located near our hotel partners in Kingston."
"HITS is number one in the world when it comes to horse shows," said Carquillat. "When the exhibitors come to the Hudson Valley this spring, I will be honored to host a Grand Opening Party to celebrate the season and a successful show."
