from the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame

Goshen, NY — Before heading to the Mid-Hudson St. Patrick’s Day Parade, join us for an open house family workshop on Sunday (March 15) from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. at the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame, located at 240 Main Street, Goshen.

Children ages 3-11 will make a craft, play horsey-themed games and will take a ride on the Harness Racing 3D Simulator. Everyone is invited to enjoy cookies, tea and hot chocolate. All for only $3 per child and adults are free. This is an open house event; no reservations are necessary; you may come and go as you please. After the workshop, stake out a spot for the parade, which begins at 2 p.m.

Children will begin by creating their own Lucky Pot of Gold noise maker that they can carry and shake while watching the parade pass by the Museum. When making their Lucky Pot of Gold, children will enjoy cutting, gluing, stamping and painting!

Staff will then lead kids through a series of fun games throughout the museum. Seamus McGee, our Irish Standardbred mascot, will make an appearance, so bring your camera and take pictures of your kids with him. Cross the finish line with an exciting ride on the Harness Racing 3D Simulator.

Cookies, tea and toasty hot chocolate will top off the fun. All paid participants may enter the drawing to win a fun prize. Before leaving, visit the museum gift shop for a wide selection of horse related items and take advantage of an added bonus with a reduction of 20 percent off of any green item in the shop. You may even find yourself something green to wear at the parade!
