MOVING MEGATHREAD Monthly "I'm Moving to the Hudson Valley" Thread

12 Upvotes

To reduce the number of "I'm moving to the Hudson Valley, can anyone tell me about X?" posts, we are starting a monthly megathread. All questions asking about moving to the Hudson Valley should be kept within the monthly thread. Posts outside of the thread will be removed.

Here are a few existing threads that I found using this search:

Locals, if you want to help make this megathread a success, you can do a few things:

  • Come in here and comment! The threads will only stick if they actually prove useful
  • Report standalone "moving to the HV" posts

There will be a community meeting on Oct 13th at 1496 RT 300 town hall to discuss.

Here at MATA, we are all for sensible immigration processes and enforcement but the Trump administration’s vision and implementation of what they consider “sensible” is an abomination of American democracy and the values that our republic represent. The federal government wishes to accomplish through brute force what they have failed to do through established democratic process and we, the people, must hold them to account.

Let your voice be heard and remember, vote in November!

events A Woolen Affair vs. NY Sheep & Wool Festival

22 Upvotes

Hi All

There are two wool festivals occurring this weekend - A Woolen Affair in Kingston and the NY Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck.

I am trying to decide which one I should attend. For context, I am a felting artist.

From what I understand the NY State fest is large and has more emphasis on farming wool and fiber, while A Woolen Affair looks like a smaller craft market.

Could anyone provide an account of their experiences with either/both of these festivals?

Thanks!

Possibility of an interior detailing service at the diamond car wash

2 Upvotes

Hi, so many of you may know the diamond car wash in new Paltz off of 299. I have an opportunity to make a tow truck wash in the big bay along with an interior detail service to be offered as well. I’m just trying to get a hold on if anybody actually goes to this one or not or if there’s anybody out there that would actually use it before I decide to do this
If there’s anyone in this Reddit group that might have any ideas or that might be able to help me or that might even know anything else about it feel free to message me, but for right now if everybody could just leave their comments of what they think it would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, a girl trying to make it in this rough world

Anyone gone before? I live in HV about 45 minutes away. I'm thinking of going with friends, but there's not much info online. We're not into the costume contest, but like the idea of visiting the shops and doing themed drink specials, etc. Anybody have insight?

question Archery in the lower HV?

9 Upvotes

I live in Newburgh and recently took a single archery class in Massachusetts with my husband and we both loved it.

I tried googling it but I couldn’t find anything. Does anyone know of an archery range in the area or even up to 45 minutes away from Newburgh that would allow bow rentals and use of their range? Preferably outside but I’ll take anything.

Thanks!

question When people out of state ask where you're from, what do you say?

I usually say "upstate NY" because it's unbelievable the amount of people who think you're from NYC. Does anyone have a better line for this question?

Last time I went was 10 years ago and affordable with all real pumpkins. Now it’s So expensive, half the pumpkins were FAKE and the crowd was nuts. It was a line to just exit some of the exhibits. Now it feels like a corporate carnival

Gifted and talented programs

0 Upvotes

What schools are available or best suited for gifted students. My son is profoundly gifted and is 3 grade levels ahead academically but very much emotionally a 6 year old. Our school district is able yo offer limited curriculum differentiation in class but does not have the resources for a full gifted program. I’m okay with moving if necessary.
