June is bursting with fun and flavor in the Hudson Valley
The Country Living Fair is showcasing an exciting mix of unique hand made household items; this weekend June 5 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm at the Dutchess County Fair Grounds. So many are returning again this year to get another peak at all the vintage finds, handmade jewelry, bags, garments and more.
To purchase a 3 day pass visit http://shop.stellashows.net/store/product-info.php?pid111.html.
Rhinebeck is a stunning country venue with beautiful views and fun shops of it's own. If you decide to take in the Country Living Fair stop into Rhinebeck and check out their delectable eateries and shops.
If home decor is not your cup of tea, check out The Rhinebeck National Motorcycle Meet June 12 & 13 at Dutchess County Fair Grounds. The doors are open from 8:00am to 5:00pm both days with hourly dare devil stunt shows in the afternoon. Thanks to the Antique Motorcycle Club of America you can get a peak at vintage motorcycles of all makes and models from around the world. In addition to motorcycles, you can step into the past at the Century Museum Village and see some antique tractor and truck machinery display. A day at the motorcycle meet would be my husband's dream day away.
General Admission: $15.00 for one day and $25.00 for both days. For more information go to http://dutchesstourism.com/spotlights/Rhinebeck-National-Motorcycle-Meet-Machinery-Show/.
Finally, if those don't peak your interest, come and test out the Hudson Valley Brew Festival: Beer, Bourbon and Bacon on June 20. The award winning Handsome Devil BBQ will be hosting a whole hog pig roast and bringing their own hand cured bacon. This year the menu will include an item call The Hot Mess which consists of a layer of brisket, a layer of mac and cheese and topped off with pulled pork. Sounds good to me! I might need a day to recover from that lunch. I'm looking forward to washing it down with a sample of hard cider. The Bad Seed Distillery from our local Highland, NY will be making it's first appearance this year. Way to go Bad Seed! We can't wait to test out all the varieties of cider, beer and bourbon.
