Bethel native Jim Ballard sits down with me as he recollects the trip back into Bethel, and being exposed to the Woodstock and Hippie culture after his time away in the military.
Listen to his experience as he recounts that the festival was more than just on the grounds - it was the whole town! From the people camping out on lawns and neighboring fields, to the townspeople who all assisted in feeding and sheltering the new visitors, Jim discusses the camaraderie that the festival brought the Bethel area!
