You are cordially invited to attend the Marshall & Sterling League Finals Party on Friday, September 14 from 6 pm-9:30 pm at HITS-on-the-Hudson, in Saugerties, New York.

The party will be catered by Tavern on the Green Catering. Tavern on the Green is one of the most famous restaurants in New York City and will provide a sumptuous menu for the event. The presentation of the Essex Classics Year-End High Score Awards to the top-10 finishers in each division will follow dinner.

Highlighting the evening will be a special musical performance by Suzanne Vega. 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, was released in July 2007.

Please RSVP via e-mail to RSVP@HitsShows.com or call Chris Mayone or Danette Kadlic at 845.246.8833 by September 10 to make your reservations.

We hope to see you at the Finals!
