Win The Region's Best: Hudson Valley Credit Union Announces Sip, Stay & Play Sweepstakes

Hudson Valley Credit Union (HVCU)
has announced a Sip, Stay & Play Sweepstakes as part of its participation in this year's Hudson Valley Wine & Food Festival. The sweepstakes will run from September 12 through September 19, giving participants the opportunity to enter for a chance to win one of three experiences celebrating the best of the Hudson Valley and beyond. The sweepstakes is open to individuals who are 18 years of age or older.*

Participants may choose to enter one or more of the following prize drawings:

• Wildflower Farms Getaway Package featuring a two-night stay in a Bower Cabin, two 60-minute spa treatments, dinner for two at Clay (up to $300), and applicable taxes.
• Culinary Institute of America Experience, including a $500 gift card that may be used toward dining, classes, tours, and other eligible offerings.
• The Kartrite Resort & Indoor Waterpark Family Getaway, including a $600 gift card that may be applied toward accommodations and eligible resort experiences.

Individuals may enter online at hvcu.org/HVWFF, at any HVCU branch location, or at either HVCU booth during the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Festival. Entrants may submit one entry per prize drawing. All entry methods are treated equally.

The sweepstakes is part of HVCU's larger initiative to bring the Hudson Valley to life at this year's festival. Attendees can enjoy a build-your-own bouquet experience featuring locally grown blooms from Ulster County-based Hudson Wildflower Co., as well as complimentary samples of alcohol-infused ice cream from Orange County-based Toppings.

“Our commitment to the Hudson Valley extends beyond financial services," said Tina Ludwig, senior vice president, head of experience activation at HVCU. "It's about investing in the people, businesses and experiences that make this region such a special place to live, work and visit. Through the Sip, Stay & Play Sweepstakes and our involvement with the Hudson Valley Wine & Food Festival, we're proud to showcase local organizations and experiences that help make our region unique.”

One winner will be selected for each prize drawing through a random drawing conducted on or about September 21, 2026. Winners do not need to be present to win.
