Woodstock Handbill

The text reads:

"Certain people of Wallkill decided to try to run us out of town before we even got there. They were afraid. Of what, we don't know. We're not even sure that they know. But anyway, to avoid a hassel, we moved our festival site to White Lake, Town of Bethel (Sullivan County), N.Y. We could have stayed, but we decided we'd rather switch now, and fight Wallkill later. After all, the whole idea of the festival is to bring you three days of peace and music. Not three days of dirty looks and cold shoulders. Just one more words about those concerned citizens of Wallkill -- Our lawyers have been instructed to start damage proceedings immediately. Now to something a bit more pleasant.

Our New Site. It's twice the size of our original site. (Who knows, maybe the people of Wallkill did us a favor?) That means twice as many trees. And twice as much grass. And twice as many acres of land to roam around on. For those of you who have already purchased tickets, don't worry. Your tickets, even though printed Wallkill, will of course be accepted at our new festival site at White Lake in the Town of Bethel.

We'd also like at this time to thank the people of Bethel for receiving the news of our arrival so enthusiastically. See you at White Lake, for the first aquarian exposition, Aug. 15,16, and 17. *White Lake, Town of Bethel, Sullivan County, N.Y."
