Saugerties, New York (May 3, 2007) - HITS is pleased to announce that Suzanne Vega will be performing live at the Marshall & Sterling League Finals Party Friday, September 14, at HITS' state-of-the-art equestrian facility in Saugerties, New York. After dinner and an awards ceremony honoring some the seasons top performers, guests will get a chance to kick back and listen to Suzanne Vega perform live. The Eighties' alternative rocker, whose career spans three decades, had her brush with mainstream when "Luka," a song from her second album, won her international fame in 1987. The song rose to number three on the charts and was nominated for three Grammys. Vega is known for her highly literate lyrics and eclectic folk-inspired music. Beauty and Crime, Vega's seventh studio album, is set to be released in July 2007.
During the year, riders from coast to coast compete at Marshall & Sterling League member horse shows to earn points for a place at the Finals. Since its inception in 1991, the Marshall & Sterling League Finals have provided a goal that has fueled the competitive spirit of child and adult riders at all levels of competition. In 2006, riders accumulated points at more than 700 member horse shows throughout the year to qualify for the Finals. This year that number is expected to reach over 800. The Friday night Year-End High Point Awards Dinner held at HITS Saugerties will recognize the top-10 riders based on national point standings in each division. Award recipients represent the most dedicated and determined Marshall & Sterling League members and the night pays honor to their achievements.
"Thousands of riders join the Marshall & Sterling League each year with the goal of competing at the Finals," said HITS President Tom Struzzieri. "Our finalists work hard to qualify, and we are dedicated to producing a prestigious event that acknowledges and rewards their talents. Having Suzanne Vega perform this year will be a great addition to the festivities."
It's not too late to become a member of the Marshall & Sterling League. If you are competing this spring and summer you could still qualify for the September Finals. Membership is just $40. Join online, or call 845.246.8833 for a membership application.
In January 2006, HITS entered into a private equity arrangement with Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. in Los Angeles. As a result, HITS, Inc. is able to develop and execute exciting operational and strategic initiatives that both solidify its well-established position as the leader in horse show management and allow for new growth opportunities including the construction of its five venues in California, Arizona, Florida, Virginia and New York.
