Happy Valentine’s Day Hudson Valley residents!
Thank you to everyone that came out last Saturday night to join us for the Sherry Vine show at Truman’s – We had close to 200 of you there for the show, and a great time was had by all! In case you missed it, one of the attendees shot a short video and posted it to Facebook. We got a TON of great photos from the event, and you can check them out – and tag your friends – in the Facebook event album.
Chances are you might have been wondering what all the fuss was about that last “snowstorm” we had, and unlike that storm, BGHV is sure to not disappoint you, as there is plenty happening here in the Hudson Valley this weekend.
Looking for a fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with either your friends – or maybe that special someone? The live Rufus Wainwright show on Friday night in Poughkeepsie is sure to be a great time. Looking to see live a performance? Consider going to see the premiere weekend for Falsettos in Rhinebeck. Looking to get your groove on? There are plenty of opportunities to dance on Saturday night, if you are looking for a fun night out on a budget? Be sure to check out the free art show on Satruday night in Poughkeepsie’s Luckey Platt Building, and then wander down Main Street from there to either Emiliano’s for a slice, or Soul Dog for a delicious weiner.
Whatever you decide to do this weekend, we hope you enjoy it!
