Red Cross comes to aid of stranded Hudson Project attendees
Nearly 16 hours after The Hudson Project canceled its final night due to severe storms, attendees still found themselves stranded in the campground. Many campers were unable to drive their cars out of the thick mud left behind from the massive storm system. In response to the stranded festival-goers, the Mid-Hudson Chapter of the American Red Cross opened a shelter at the Kiwanis Ice Arena where snacks and water were distributed to those stranded in camp ground.
Hudson Project forced to cancel final night’s performances due to inclement weather
This weekend's inaugural Hudson Project in Saugerties, New York has just canceled its final night due to a series of storms set to hit Upstate New York this evening. After two successful days at its new home, festival organizers were forced to shut down this evening's performances and urged all attendees to stay safe as the storms pass through the area. Organizers have also requested that any fans under the influence should remain inside of their cars and not drive drunk to exit the festival but rather seek shelter until they are sober and safe to travel.
