SAUGERTIES, NY (June 11, 2007)—On Friday, June 15 the first ever HITS Saugerties Fashion Show presented by DIG, a popular boutique located in the Village of Saugerties, will take center stage at 6 pm at the HITS-on-the-Hudson Food Pavilion.
This inaugural fashion show will feature fine equestrian apparel from the vendors at HITS Saugerties, as well as some high-end clothes from DIG, Woodstock Trading Post and Woodstock Design. Food for the fashion show is being provided by Catskill Point and Mirabella's restaurant.
"We keep the store open sometimes until 11 pm when the horse show is in town," said Van Bolle, who owns DIG with his wife, Daisy. "When the exhibitors are waiting to eat at Miss Lucy's or Cafe Tamayo they come in and shop. It's pretty remarkable the traffic we get in here at night."
The Fashion Show is open to the public and admission is free; however, donations to Family of Woodstock, Inc. are encouraged and always welcome. After the fashion show is over, visitors will have a chance to shop along Vendors Row where they will be able to find many of the items from the show.
"It will be a nice treat for exhibitors to sit back, relax and see some of the fine clothes that all of the participants have to offer," added Bolle.
Week III of show jumping at HITS Saugerties continues this Wednesday and culminates on Sunday, June 17 with the $75,000 Footings Unlimited Grand Prix. HITS Saugerties officially kicked off the 2007 season on Wednesday, May 30. The spring shows run through June 17. The $22,500 Children's/Adult Championship and the $40,000 Junior/Amateur-Owner Jumper Championship will close out the spring shows during Week III at HITS Saugerties. After that, HITS Saugerties takes a five-week hiatus before returning on July 25 for three more weeks of world-class show jumping. The summer series concludes with one final week of show jumping beginning on September 5, followed by the Marshall & Sterling League Finals, September 13-16 when acclaimed singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega will be performing for the Year-End High Point Awards Celebration.
HITS, Inc. is a special events management company primarily focused on producing hunter/jumper horse shows. Based in upstate New York in the village of Saugerties, HITS produced its first horse show circuit in Gainesville, Florida in 1982. Since that time, HITS has grown into a nationwide company with world-class hunter-jumper circuits in California, Florida, Arizona, New York and Virginia.
