This Saturday, hundreds of guests are expected to descend on the sleepy Hudson Valley town of Rhinebeck to attend the wedding of Chelsea Clinton. While few locals will get a glimpse of the main event, they're more than happy to play host to history. NY1's Tara Lynn Wagner filed the following report.

Town officials may be staying mum about the big event set to take place in Rhinebeck this weekend, but local business owners are hardly being shy. From dry cleaners to neighborhood eateries, window displays are awash with well wishes for Marc and Chelsea.

"Just to wish them good luck. It's a good day for them and they're good people," said "Pete's" waitress Leslie Fisher.

While many businesses are getting in on the act, one in particular is displaying an actual wedding gift -- a painting by a local artist that's been purchased for the couple.

"It was purchased last week. I don't think we're allowed to say by whom or for how much, but yeah, it's a wedding gift," said Alex Batkin of "Wing and Clover."

Sherri Lancto doesn't expect to sell many wedding gifts at her tack shop, but still found a way to grab this opportunity by the reins, brainstorming puns for her roadside sign that currently reads "Bridle Registry Here" and "No Nagging The Groom."

"A lot of visitors will be coming through, a lot of outsiders coming in and why not give them a giggle while they are coming through town," Lancto said.

The town is no stranger to tourism -- long attracting daytrippers in search of charm, history, and an antique or two. The impending nuptials will no doubt bring some first time guests to the area, but could also mean big business even after the wedding bells have stopped ringing.

"It's like having the olympics in your town or something. This kind of attraction makes the name have a cache that it didn't used to have," Batkin said.

And once the guests arrive, local real estate agents hope some might stay a while.

"We're expecting an influx of people to purchase homes here in Rhinebeck and we're really excited about that. So it's great for our economy here in Rhinebeck -- our quaint little hometown," said Julie Mayer of Century 21 Anita Ferri Realty.

While there are homes on the market, Mayer says next week there will probably be a few more as local property owners rush to cash in on history.
