Call For Vendors: Hudson River Maritime Museum: Celebration Of Woodworking

The Hudson River Maritime Museum is seeking craft vendors who work in wood for our first ever, “Celebration of Woodworking”. The event will take place on Saturday October 1st & Sunday October 2nd from 10AM–5PM on the grounds of the Hudson River Maritime Museum at 50 Rondout Landing, Kingston, NY 12401.
The celebration will include dozens of artisans working in wood and will feature a display of craft work from friends and members of the Mid-Hudson Woodworkers and a fine furniture exhibition showcasing the work of the Hudson Valley Furniture Makers. We will have numerous demonstrations where artists and craftsmen will share their knowledge and skills with the public.

Requirements: Vendors must be able to participate both days of the event. There is no fee to participate as a vendor, however we ask that 10% of sales be donated back to the museum to offset our operational costs.We are prioritizing vendors who sell handmade, wooden arts and crafts, as well as wood adjacent suppliers of both tools and live edge slabs. We also welcome other traditional and handmade crafts born from natural materials.

Those interested in signing up should fill out the vendor form available on the Hudson River Maritime Museum's website at www.hrmm.org/wwf-vendors.

From Womens March -

“On May 2nd, we learned from a leaked draft opinion that SCOTUS is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, stripping the constitutional right to abortion in spite of fifty years of precedent.

“The Supreme Court is making their official decision on abortion rights in June. Once that happens, 26 states could move quickly to ban abortion, meaning millions of people could live without local access to abortion care.

“Roe has always been the floor, not the ceiling. Many Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other people of color experience barriers to accessing abortions. The people in your community and across the country deserve the power and freedom to make their own personal reproductive health care decisions.

“We have to act NOW, all across the country. Together we will send a strong message that we're not backing down. Supporting abortion access must be protected and defended.”

Spooky Hudson River Boat Tours On The "Solaris" From The Maritime Museum Throughout October

Hudson River Maritime Museum, located in Kingston on the Rondout Creek, is offering boat tours to hear local tales of legends and lore aboard Solaris on Friday and Saturday evenings throughout October. Passengers will explore the Hudson River and Rondout Creek by spooky searchlight and listen to legends and lore of the Hudson River from the pages of Washington Irving or straight from newspaper headlines of centuries past.

Guides will share stories including the tale of the serpent of the Hudson River, the terrible crime of William Salisbury, and Rondout's barge graveyard. Tickets range from $20-$25 and all proceeds support the museum’s educational programs. 

Solaris Is A 100% Solar-Powered Boat

Solaris is the museum's 100% solar-powered tour boat and floating classroom. The boat was built on campus at the Wooden Boat School and is the only solar-powered boat in operation on the Hudson River. This quiet vessel does not require any fossil fuels to operate. The lantern cruises are part of over a dozen themed tours happening this season, including visits to local shipwrecks, Indigenous history events, and trips to the Rondout Lighthouse. 

All boat tickets include general admission to the museum, open Thursday-Sunday, 11 am to 5 pm. This event is one of over a dozen themed boat tours happening on the Rondout Creek and Hudson River this season. Find details and a calendar at www.solarboattours.org or call 845-338-0071.
