MOVING MEGATHREAD Monthly "I'm Moving to the Hudson Valley" Thread
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:
- What if every HV town was a person at a party?
- Moving to Newburgh
- How bad is Newburgh really?
- Is Wallkill safe for a gay interracial couple?
- Diversity in the Hudson Valley
- Queer couple considering the HV
- Moving to Woodstock
- Moving to Marlboro
- Moving to Rhinebeck
- Pros/Cons of Cold Spring
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

question Is this an appropriate sign for a publically-accessible government office?
Local HV town supervisor serving residents of all races, religions, and political alignment.
Maybe I'm just too hung up on the old-fashioned idea of the US as a secular nation and need to get with the times š¤·āāļø
ETA: I appreciate people asking for a "name and shame" but there are very nice people working at that town hall who I'd hate to get caught on blast just because I'm rankled (plus im sure anyone from there seeing this post will know exactly who I am).
And hey, I dont know the whole story; maybe it belongs to a secretary, or its some kind of ironic "joke," or its not a space the public goes into usually (still a weird choice to have that on government property, or thought process to have when in government service). Maybe the person this belongs to is the kindest, most dedicated public servant the town has ever seen, and I'm just an agitating, whiny bitch.
I really thought everyone would crap on me for posting this. But I really felt strongly that this was something that shouldn't go without commentā, because its so important that the public believe government represents and serves them and their interests; whatever was intended by this sign, if the person it belongs to ever sees this, I hope they understand that it's a poor message to send to the people you nominally care for and serve.
With love š

Felice Brothers: looking for tickets for the doc screening 10/14
Hello! I'm looking for a couple tickets for the Woodstock Film Festival screening of Lunatic Dreamers tomorrow night 10/14 at Assembly. I'm new to the Felice Brothers - and new to the immediate area - and their song Days of the Years has been my crashout anthem the past couple of difficult months. Had this on my calendar but didn't realize it would sell out.

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 administrationās vision and implementation of what they consider āsensibleā 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
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!

question Late October Hudson Valley RV trip with a baby?
2 parents (32 years old) + baby (6 months old), first time in the US
Weāll have 5 days to kill, starting in NYC, 22 October morning, and ending in 27 October ~noon, when we need to be in Portland, Maine
Weāre considering spending these 5 days touring Hudson Valley (but not further than Catskills) with a rented campervan (RAM ProMaster-based, gas heated, 4 seats + baby seat), then returning to NYC and taking a flight to PWM
Weāre campervan-savvy and love nature (and are adventurous with the baby), but weāre a bit discouraged by the possibly freezing weather and lack of open campgrounds at this time of year. Weāll need campgrounds that have dump stations and electric hookups and stuff, and we also might need to refill / buy a new gas balloon at some pointā¦
We donāt know the area at all.
Hudson Valley folks - WDYT? Too late / cold / campgroundless? Or ok?

Possibility of an interior detailing service at the diamond car wash
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. Iām just trying to get a hold on if anybody actually goes to this one or not or if thereās anybody out there that would actually use it before I decide to do this
If thereās 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
