The Circus Is Coming to Orange County!
Back when I was a kid growing up in the 1970s, there was always a circus coming to town. Seriously, there would be three, four or more circuses in the Hudson Valley during the summer. And I believe the Mid Hudson Civic Center hosted the circus a couple of times a year. And then there were the really big circuses in New York City. There was even an old joke about running away to join the circus. Not so much anymore, though.
So, is the circus a thing of the past? I’m happy to tell you that it is not. In fact, there is a circus coming to Orange County on Memorial Day weekend. That’s right, a real live circus. Just like when we were kids. Today’s circuses are much more aware of what’s right and wrong when it comes to animals, so you don’t even have to worry about that.

Car Cruise Nights Kick Off April 16 in Washingtonville
I grew up in New Windsor in Orange County in the 1970s. And we loved our cars. Souped up motorhead cars. Old cars, new cars, it didn’t matter. We were very into cars. And it’s no wonder because back then there wasn’t a whole lot to do except ride around in our cars listening to music and trying to stay out of trouble.
Well, some things never change. We still love cars and as adults we love to show off our cars, talk about our cars, compare them with other people’s cars, and dream of even more cars. Does that sound like you? You can do all that and more by showing up at one of the Washingtonville Car Cruise Nights. The Car Cruise season kicks off on Friday, April 16 at 29 W Main Street in Washingtonville from 5:30PM - 9:30PM.
A Tour of New Paltz (PICS)
We ❤ New Paltz!
A new week and a new Wolf hometown of the day. Every Monday on the Wakin Up with CJ and Jess Show we give our homemade Wheel o Towns a spin to select the one town we are going to celebrate all week long. We welcomed Sue of the air today to give the wheel a spin and after spinning, it landed on the town of New Paltz, which is one of our favorite towns in Ulster County.
We learned that back in 2010 it had just over 14,000 residents and with the Hudson Valley explosion in real estate the last few years, I would guess that s probably doubled since then.LOL! New Paltz holds a special place for me as I spent many a nights in various bars doing the DJ thing. I ve met so many friends over the years at places like Cuddy s, Murphy s (Foleys) just to name a few.
