Back to Woodstock, with Wi-Fi: Women return after 55 years to glamp and relive the famous festival
Beverly “Cookie” Grant hitchhiked to the Woodstock music festival in 1969 without a ticket and slept on straw. Ellen Shelburne arrived in a VW microbus and pitched a pup tent.
Fifty-five years later, the two longtime friends finally got back to the garden, but this time in high style.
The women, now 76, were recently treated to a two-bedroom glamping tent at the upstate site equipped with comfy beds, a shower, a coffee maker and Wi-Fi. No mud from drenching rains this time. They sat in pavilion seats to watch shows by Woodstock veterans John Fogerty and Roger Daltrey.
