Woodstock is not just one story – it's 450,000 stories! And the Museum at Bethel Woods and ComFest are partnering to collect unique stories from Ohio.
ComFest is the longest-running community festival in the country and had its beginning in the counterculture movement. The Museum at Bethel Woods, the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock festival, is deeply committed to the collection and preservation of stories from the people who know Woodstock best. Since 2020, the Museum has been collecting oral histories from around the country, and April 4 – April 8, 2023, they are going to be in Columbus.
Did you go to Woodstock? Do you know someone who did? We want to hear from you! It’s quick and easy to do. Contact Andy Basista at andy.basista@comfest.com or send an email to oralhistory@bethelwoodscenter.org to schedule an interview.

The time is NOW to protect Abortion access in Ohio. Overwhelmingly, Ohioans support abortion, and other types of reproductive healthcare, and believe that the government should stay out of people's healthcare decisions. The ACLU of Ohio, along with a multitude of organizations, is working to put abortion on the ballot this year through a citizen-initiated effort. Join us on Monday, March 13th, to hear about our efforts and how you can help protect and defend this human right.

Since our mainstream media and government are all being paid to downplay the severity of this, I would like to start this event to gather anyone who this may impact and people who aren’t even impacted. What is being done to East Palestine people is not right. The government and rail companies think we are stupid. They think that their pennies are enough to just have everyone turn a blind eye. I refuse to turn a blind eye and would love all the support we can get to create actual change. These corporations need to be held accountable. Our congressmen and women need to be held more accountable. They are lying about everything.
Bring your signs and passion for humanity. Violence will not be tolerated.
Hosted by Ryan McClellan and Mike Huffman.
