Rockland Lake, NY – For the second consecutive year, DRASH shelters were on hand to keep visitors warm during the annual Knickerbocker Ice Festival at Rockland Lake State Park on January 23-24, 2010.
Organizers of the Ice Festival first turned to DHS Technologies last year to provide shelters to serve as warming stations and house food vendors throughout the festival. During this year’s event, two 1,250 square foot J Series Shelters once again housed the Ice Festival’s Food Court, while a DRASH MX Shelter provided 442 square feet for the festival’s Information Center and Book Store.
The company’s newest mobile command post, the Reeves ICP, also served as a mobile field office for Ice Festival organizers.
“This is the second straight year that DRASH has been on hand to assist in providing Ice Festival attendees with an oasis of warmth,” said Maria Rodd, managing director of Knickerbocker Ice Festival, Inc., the non-profit organization which, in cooperation with the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, organized the event. “Without their assistance we would not be able to provide the comfort levels visitors would expect.”
DHS Technologies’ Marketing Communications Manager Naeran Rubio adds that the company was equally pleased to be given the chance to support a local event for the second year in a row.
“We were thrilled to once again bring our industry-leading shelters and put them to great use at the Knickerbocker Ice Festival,” says Rubio.
