WOODSTOCK With plenty of flag waving and horn honking, Woodstock voters Monday approved all but one article on their town meeting warrant.
It was the second year the annual town meeting took place outside in the town office parking lot, due to COVID concerns. Voters stayed in their cars, listened to town officials over their car radios and spoke via two-way radio when they wished.
When it came time to vote, they waved small American flags out their windows.

WOODSTOCK Woodstock’s annual town meeting April 26 will feature votes on purchasing Buck’s Ledge, adopting a medical marijuana retail ordinance, making Woodstock a second amendment sanctuary town and replacing the Bacon Bridge.
A proposal to buy the 640-acre Buck’s Ledge property, which overlooks North Pond, would not require tax money. Instead, the town’s share (not yet determined) would come from a dedicated land conservation account, with the rest paid privately or by grants.
A proposed medical marijuana caregiver retail store ordinance, if approved, would allow for the retail sale of medical marijuana in town.
