Minions Hay Bale 2023

Some signs of autumn include the changing colours of the leaves, cooler temperatures, and birds flying south for the winter. In Saugerties, N.Y. another sign of autumn includes the Rimington’s new Minions Hay Bale display presented during the start of the Garlic Festival.

The Rimingtons

This year I finally got to meet the couple behind this display. This is my fourth year documenting it. The Rimingtons told me this is their sixth year putting it up. This year’s theme is hip hop music. This year they incorporated some artwork in the form of banners as well as a few skeletons. RIMS Driving School is their business.

As I was talking to the Rimingtons, people were showing their appreciation by yelling thank you for the display from their passing cars.

This year they are also advertising their business, RIMS Driving School.

Skeletons

The candy corn road cones are a nice touch!
Skeleton D.J. Exit 20 on his shirt represents the location of Saugerties along the New York State Thruway.

Location

This display is across from Dunkin Donuts as you are heading into the village from the Thruway exit. It is on 127 Ulster Avenue. I recommend pulling into the shopping area across the street and parking. You can view it from that side of the street or cross over. Ulster Avenue in Saugerties is a very busy road and there is no parking street side in that area.

If you are leaf peeping in the Catskills and in the area of Saugerties head into town. Besides this display there are a variety of businesses in the village to stop for a bite, go antiquing, or walk to the Lighthouse from the parking area on Lighthouse Drive.

What a fun way to celebrate the start of autumn and Halloween. Thank you to the Rimington Family!
