NO CAMPING. Downtown Callicoon. facebook.com/fest69/ No Tickets required Hector’s Inn “The Original Woodstock Watering Hole” continues their yearly tradition of Hippy Thanksgiving on Thursday August 15, and for the next three days will feature a whole bunch of local musi- cal acts playing outdoors all weekend long to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the event that put Hector’s on the map. No cover charge! CAMPING NOT PERMITTED. 14 Dr Duggan Rd., Bethel NY 12720. facebook.com/pages/category/Pub/Hectors-Inn-2027043757311251/ No Tickets required A word of caution - Avoid Route 17B in the town of Bethel during Woodstock Anniversary Weekend if at all possible, especially if the Woodstock 50 festival in Watkins Glen ends up being cancelled after all. There are plenty of side roads and little travelled routes that will save you a lot of time and headaches in case of traffic jams. In the case of Porchfest, please carpool, and do NOT plan on parking in downtown Callicoon. Remember: I read it in Th’ Tattler, where the Name the Hippie on the Dove Contest Results hippest folks get their news...maaaaaaaaan! Well, it was a hard fought, rough and tumble contest, but the results are in! Arlo, Jorma, Graeme and Wavy put up decent competition (including a number of write-in votes), and Jerry almost stole the show. However, at the end of the day, the Mystery Hippie has been named DUKE, after our hometown favorite! Thanks so much to all who participated in the contest! 1 LOCAL EVENTS CALENDAR a On Saturday June 8th, come out a and enjoy the 15th annual Trout Parade: 11am - 4pm Main Street! a a a a a KAUNEONGA BLOCK PARTY Big Fun!
