We thank you for your time. The organizer of the festival, the original plan was to have it in woodstock, about 60 miles north east of here. And woodstock, new york was a Bohemian Community and a lot of musicians lived there off and on, including bob dylan, the band, richie havens, van morrison. The organizers called their Company Woodstock ventures and they started looking for a place for their festival. They could not find a place in woodstock that was large enough. They found a property that might have worked in saugerties, down the road from woodstock, but that fell through. Out of desperation, they found in Industrial Park near middletown, new york in the town of wallkill. It was very flat, kind of an interesting land, but it had Good Transportation access. They started building, they started advertising, the built the stage, they had an artist. Everything was going smoothly until the locals caught wind of what they were doing and it was not going to be a 50,000 person folk festiv
