Woodstock Citizen of the Year Announced Annually, Preservation Woodstock, Inc. chooses a Woodstock citizen as the recipient of the Barbara G. Ingram Citizen of the Year Award, someone who is actively engaged in the preservation of Woodstocks heritage and history. This years winner is Bonny Keheley. She will be recognized during ceremonies in The Park at City Center following the Parade of Lights on December 1. Keheley has become the face of historic preservation at Woodstock Elementary School. The tradition of an annual history walking field trip to the Woodstock Visitors Center at Historic Deans Store was her brainchild, a continuation of similar walks to The Park, which she began to establish a sense of community, especially for the many newcomers to the area. The history segment will move to the amphitheater this year. It is estimated that over 2000 Woodstock Elementary students have been introduced to Woodstocks history through these efforts.Keheley is retired after 38 years of teaching. Shes active in community affairs, especially the Woodstock Main Street program.
