Woodstock Guide

In 1999, Pat Horner and Larry Lawrence had a conversation outside of Taco Juan's on Tinker St. about the recent publication of the folded brochure about woodstock that was recently published by the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce & Arts. The two spoke of the need for a more comprehensive Woodstock 'Guide' and The following year, Bob Mc Broom (Onteora Mt. House) helped produce the 1st Guide (34 pages, designed by Ken Schneidman).
A 2002 edition was 32 pg., (designed by Naomi Graphics) and in 2003 and 2004, under Bob Mc Broom, with help from Leilani Claire, the Guide increased in size to 52 pages. DMC design (Donna Calcavechio) designed the '03 and '04 issues along with the 2005, 56 page version. Pat Horner was contracted by the Chamber in 2004 to produce the 2005 collectors edition after the passing of Leilani Claire. The 2006, 52 page version designed by Katie Jellinghaus, celebrated Hervey White, 100 years of the maverick and the artist, Andree Ruellan. The team of Larry, Pat and Katie started working together in 2006 and continue to the present day. The 2007 and 2008 editions continued to celebrate the arts and the "Art that is Life".
In January of 2009, the new board of directors at WCOCA decided to not continue publishing the Guide. Larry and Pat had worked on the 40th anniversary issue for months and made the leap into publishing themselves. Having a short selling season and the downturn in the economy challenging the task, yet another collectors edition (44 pages) was produced and distributed beginning in May, 2009, and is still being sought after. Now open to all businesses (previously ads and listings were for chamber members only), the Guide is growing and becoming more of a regional resource to serve a larger community. The web page WoodstockGuide.com was launched in 2009 and re-designed in May 2010.
