Saugerties, NY - The Hudson Valley Garlic Festival is so popular that the small town of Saugerties, New York, grows by tens of thousands of people during the two-day early fall event.

Scheduled this year for Oct. 2-3, the historic and much-loved festival will combine music, dance and, of course, great food. Given the potential for high pedestrian traffic and revelers kicking up their heels, the town contacted COVERMASTER® in search of turf protection for Cantine Field, the event location.

The best solution turned out to be 2,500 square feet of MASTERSHIELD PLUS™ turf protection, a portable flooring versatile enough to protect different surfaces. The temporary event flooring will be installed over the field’s hard mixed surface, creating a safe surface for festival goers. The versatile turf protection mats could also be used on the town’s natural grass fields, providing more venue options for local activities.

MASTERSHIELD PLUS™ protective event flooring is cost-effective, easy to install, and suited to both natural and synthetic turf. While top ventilation holes allow air and moisture to reach natural turf below, the Diamond Plate slip-resistant tread elevates the air holes from the surface and helps keep spills away from synthetic surfaces. From turf protection for graduations and concerts to dance and shelter flooring, the lightweight, compact design makes MASTERSHIELD PLUS™ ideal for many events.
