Manager of Communications and Special Events for the City of Woodstock Brad Janssen says the event will be enjoyable for everyone

"All our events for the city are all inclusive, so we have to provide amenities and entertainment for kids of all ages, so to speak. We've got something for everybody. We celebrate local talent, thus the The Do-Overs and Safe As Milk. Then we bring in the tribute artists for the teens right up through the old rockers so to speak, so it's going to be a full fledged day of great activity and entertainment."
