Chamber Info Booth Now Open

Rowan Smith-Spanier of the
Chamber Information Booth

The Woodstock Chamber information booth (10 Rock City Road, Woodstock, NY 12498) opened today for the summer season. Hours of operation, now through Columbus Day, will be Fridays, 12 noon through 6 p.m., and Saturdays/Sundays, 11 a.m. through 5 p.m.

Please drop by to meet the new manager of the booth, Ms. Rowan Smith-Spanier. Rowan is a Woodstock resident and May 13 graduate of Pratt Institute's upstate campus at Utica, where she studied painting. She is pleased to be the new face of Woodstock. "I feel it's very appropriate that an art student will be representing the Colony of the Arts to visitors this summer."

The booth is a wonderful resource for visitors and newcomers to the Woodstock area. Stop by for help with lodging, dining, shopping and activities for the whole family. The booth is one of a dozen places where visitors and residents can purchase the Experience Woodstock Card, which is a passport to 100 or so special offers at select Woodstock-area restaurants, spas, performance spaces, galleries, lodging, professional services and more.

Love to Shop Woodstock!

More than 100 shoppers who visited Woodstock today received a goodies and voucher bag valued at $150. Board members of the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce & Arts handed the bags out to shoppers who presented receipts for purchases made in Woodstock this morning.

The bags included certificates, coupons, Valentine's cookies and assorted gifts representing a number of Woodstock's finest shops and services. The giveaway was so popular that the Chamber is already planning similar events. Stay tuned.

Thanks for shopping Woodstock and Happy Valentine's Day!
