If you can remember it, the saying goes, odds are you weren’t there. And if you were born L 81 too late, indulging in a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Wavy Gravy is hardly the same experi- ence.

With about 4,000 residents, Virginia’s Woodstock is one-one-hundredth the size of the crowd that assembled in Max Yasgur’s pasture to see Jimi Hendrix riff on “The Star-Spangled Banner.” But Woodstock Jr. still has plenty of flower-child attractions. Shops along Main Street ply local organic produce, tie-dyed T-shirts and handmade guitars. There’s also a free bookstore (donations are accepted) and free outdoor con- certs on select Friday nights in Main Street Park. This Saturday, you can go trippin’ down Route 11 on a 32-mile crawl that will feature 350 yard sales. At past barterfests, , folks have made deals on stuff from tractors to Tupperware.
