About 5 feet tall and 7 feet long, each dove is mounted on a metal pole at highly visible locations in every community in Sullivan County. Dan Hust, Communications Director for Sullivan County Government, shares, “It’s exciting, and we hope it will brand us in a new and positive way. The project is designed for the 50th Anniversary of the Woodstock Festival, which was hosted in 1969 in the town of Bethel, but they’re also designed to be permanent, so people can come again and again to visit our Dove Trail. Three dozen doves scattered around our 1,000 square miles; each paying homage to Woodstock, while representing their community in unique and interesting ways. Artists are given a vivid palette of bright, ‘60s-era colors to follow other than that they have free rein.”
