About Woodstock, Illinois
First-time visitors to Woodstock, Illinois usually get a sense of déjà vu if they ever watched the hilarious Harold Ramis movie, "Groundhog Day" starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell.
Woodstock has a charming downtown square with a green park at its center. One of the landmark buildings is the old court house, which is now an art center.
Patsy is definitely a real person for the "Real People, 2011" exhibition! If you are up that way, stop in and take a look.
