The visitor center is a work of art. It is a cute little cottage, bright yellow and red; a purple, peace and love park bench placed just so behind a giant picture frame to achieve fun affect for a photo. There are sculptures in the trees and scattered in lawns. Every other shop is some sort of gallery with clothing, pottery, jewelry, paintings and more. Several shops are filled with commemorative Woodstock shirts…filled with sayings of the times and images of bands that have performed here over the years. It is a fun little town. We probably overtaxed Kent’s shopping tolerance though. Street signs decry the inequity of pay for women and the personal responsibility to “buy local” to keep small businesses alive. There seemed to be no reluctance to state a position in print but people on the street seemed oddly un-engaging…..no smile or response when greeted. Maybe we looked too out of place?
