Woodstock 50 organizers will have a chance to appeal an upstate New York town’s denial of a permit to hold the music festival. The Town of Vernon’s planning board is set to hear an appeal Tuesday night, exactly a month before the festival would begin. The town denied a permit application last week for a festival Aug. 16-18 at the Vernon Downs racetrack and casino.
