The Hudson River Watershed Alliance, along with our partners and supporters, gathered to celebrate our Watershed WaveMaker awardees and the outstanding efforts of all watershed volunteers with appetizers, drinks, and live music along the waterfalls of the Lattintown Creek. The event also featured a panel discussion with this year’s Watershed WaveMaker awardees.
The WaveMaker Awards Benefit is an opportunity to celebrate the vast network of rivers and streams that flow to the Hudson River, and the communities that work to protect them. These rivers, streams, and communities are all part of the Hudson River watershed.
The event featured live music from Lara Hope’s Gold Hope Duo! Ameripolitan Award-winning artist Lara Hope and internationally touring, upright bass-slapping pro Matt “The Knife” Goldpaugh spread “Merry-Cana,” a term they coined to describe their genre. They bring a unique brand of stripped-down, upbeat Rockabilly, Rhythm & Blues, Country, Folk, and a pinch of humor.
Check out more photos from the event on our Flikr album here.
