And of course the complaints start :

While more than half of Woodstock sits in the dark, the 151st annual
Woodstock Fair kicked off Friday with the lights on.

And now some people in town are critical that Connecticut Light & Power
restored power to the fair before theirs.

While most of the spinning rides at the fair operate on an independent
generator system, the concessions and other venues take power from CL &
P's grid. The fairs sits at the center of town on Route 44 and on the
main artery for CL&P.

Still, the timing couldn't be worse.

"The fair is a good thing for Woodstock. I can see the resentment you
know. But I'm not going to get upset about it," said Bill Duke of
Woodstock.

Allan Walker Jr. ,Woodstock's First Selectman, said the fair is an
economic engine for the town, generating $4 million a year.

"We want everybody in the town, individuals, companies to have power.
There was no preference to the Fair," Walker said."
