Gaming Pavilion at the Hutton Brickyards

We had the pleasure of joining Hutton Fare at the historic Hutton Brickyards in Kingston, NY- the original capital of New York State!

Hutton Fare is a custom marketplace fostering community through local eats, drinks, and curated offerings from the Hudson River Valley and beyond. We convened on the banks of the Hudson River for a taste of all the region has to offer, to support local artisans and makers, enjoy live music, tasty cocktails, and, best of all, to play some games!

Hutton Brickyards has previously hosted multiple summer food & flea markets including Smorgasburg Upstate and Field + Supply, as well as two Bob Dylan concerts. They are also an amazing venue for weddings, corporate events and now glamping (aka glamorous camping).

What we enjoy most of all at the Hutton Brickyards is how you feel you are stepping back in time. It is a crucial part of New York’s history, lending the means to construct much of the Hudson Valley and NYC as we know it today…

At the beginning of the 20th century, brick manufacturing was the preeminent industry on New York’s Hudson River. In fact, it was the largest brick-making region in the world, with over 125 manufacturers employing upwards of 8,000 workers. From 1865 to 1980, The Hutton Brick Works Company operated on the banks of the Hudson, supplying this essential building material for construction projects throughout the Hudson Valley as well New York City— the fastest-growing metropolis in the world.

The kiln sheds and Lidgerwood crane are some of the only surviving examples of brick making architecture in the Hudson Valley region, and serve as an iconic reminder of our manufacturing past.

Hutton’s indispensable contribution to the infrastructure, and in fact, the very existence of New York City- from Yankee Stadium to the Cloisters to the Empire State Building -and its surrounding environs is indisputable. The legacy of the Hutton brick makers lives on today as the current owner, MWest Holdings, preserves, restores, and reimagines the Hutton Brickyards as a world class event destination, restored to honor the rich history of the site.

Bea Rue

Freelance Web & Graphic Designer

Recently I began taking inventory of my life, recognizing the shifts I could make to lessen my personal consumption and impact. Since we spend a quarter of our lives working, that was certainly an area demanding attention. So I left retail and begin my career freelancing for small businesses whose higher purpose transcends profit.

I believe in employing my skills and energy to empower others working to create positive change in our world. I support too-swamped entrepreneurs by breathing life into their brands and websites, allowing them to focus on the important work at hand. At the same time, I get to nurture my own entrepreneurial spirit while being creative and building truly meaningful relationships throughout my community.

I strive to inform, delight and inspire by balancing content with design. I consider the details without losing sight of the big picture. I aim to see around corners while staying focused on the moment. I'm self directed but have over a decade of experience successfully working with teams. And while I've surely got bills to pay, I know it's my social responsibility to be selective about where I put my energy.
