Footing First – HITS Prepares for the Saugerties Season and the Open House

April 10, 2008

Saugerties, NY --- Spring cleaning has begun at the HITS-on-the-Hudson facility in Saugerties, New York in preparation for the special Open House event scheduled for May 3-5 and the 2008 HITS Saugerties Spring and Summer Show Series, which kick off on Wednesday, May 28.

Crews have started to work on clearing the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Schooling rings as well as the Main Hunter ring to prepare for new footing. HITS plans to have these feature rings prepped in time for the Open House in May.

"The footing at our winter circuits in Ocala and Thermal was very well received by exhibitors in both locations," said Tom Struzzieri HITS President and CEO. "We plan to replicate that formula in Saugerties and I expect the response to be just as positive."

New footing won't be the only face lift to the property; exhibitors will also enjoy new jumps from Olaf Petersen, similar to what was used at HITS Ocala. In addition, HITS Ocala's course decorator, Flora Baptiston, will bring her majestic decorating abilities to the rings at HITS Saugerties, making the courses more elegant.

The HITS Saugerties Open House event runs from Saturday, May 3 until Monday, May 5 from 8 am until 5 pm. Exhibitors are encouraged to stop in at the facility in Saugerties for tours of the property. In addition, there will be a special exhibitor party on Saturday night with a country-style barbecue and a musical performance by legendary southern rock band the Outlaws. Festivities will start at 6 pm with the barbecue and beverages, followed by the Outlaws at 7 pm.

For more information on the open house, please contact Danette Kadlic at 845.246.8833. Those who plan on attending should RSVP via e-mail to RSVP@HitsShows.com.
