It really doesn't matter where most locals stand on the political isle, but just about everyone is really excited about this weekend's WEDDING! I live on the Hudson River just across from Rhinebeck where Chelsea Clinton is getting married this weekend...

There is a very small airport almost in my backyard and because it's the closest airport to Rhinebeck, I have been hearing way more helicopters and planes landing than usual. Stephen Spielberg, Oprah, Barbara Streisand, and many more have been invited, so my telescope is ready on the porch.
Our local paper "the Kingston Freeman" has been posting almost an article a day and just like everything else these days, people either think it's a great thing for the area, or the end of the world!

As a Hudson Valley Realtor, I can only see this as a good opportunity to possibly sell the area to people who may be here for the first time and need to buy property here! I am lucky to have an ad for a Hudson River property in a very big glossy magazine that is all over the area...

Here is the NY Times ad for the property that is in the magazine...

Good luck Chelsea! I wish I was selling Hudson valley Real Estate when your Dad was president!
Yes, all the wedding guests may just be whisked in and out again so they don't get to shop locally, but as the NY lottery ad says, "hey, ya never know"!
