I recieved this today, I thought that if anyone here could lend a
hand as well there may be some hope.

Subject: Woodstock Festival Site; Preservation Help Needed


Hi. I am contacting you because our group is trying to preserve the
original Site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival (aka Yasgur's farm) in
Bethel NY of the Catskills region of New York State as an historic
site. The property which still includes the famous natural bowl
where almost 500,000 converged to watch the likes of Janis Joplin
and Jimi Hendrix play Aug. 15-17, 1969, and the upper plateau where
the crowds spilled over into concession areas, is slated to be
developed as part of a local billionaire's plans for a performing
arts center. Although our group, The Woodstock preservation Alliance
(WPA), is all in favour of the arts center, we see the Woodstock
site as a unique historic landmark that can co-exist undeveloped
within the 1700 acres purchased for the center. We would like to see
the Woodstock site remain unfenced with a permanent stage in the
bowl so that others will be able to come and experience the place
that defined a generation. The WPA is a group of preservationists
who are attempting to change plans to build on the land above the
bowl area by challenging the developer and their adherence to
guidelines for historic preservation a the state and federal level.
By summer of 2004, if the plans are not challenged, building will
begin on the site as Phase 1 of the performing arts center. We are
asking those, like yourself who have websites that cater to people
who might be interested in our cause, to help direct them to the WPA
website so that they can learn how they might help before it's too
late. If you are interested in helping, we are asking participating
webmasters to place our website banner in a prominent place to that
others will know to visit our site. Absolutely Nothing is being sold
on our website. All we want is to spread the word of the development
plans. Something the developer has been careful Not to do. To obtain
the banner ( with HTML tag already inserted), please go to
