2. Cowboy Lifestyle Network featured Woodstock's Kurt Lee Wheeler for its Music Mondays column. A local legend, Wheeler shared what music means to him as well as what it can bring to the community of Woodstock. "I'm not trying to make it big. My mission in life has always been to strengthen, support, and sustain those around me to be the best they can be. That mission doesn't change- whether I'm at the cattle market with my dad or playing guitar at the local brewery," said Wheeler. Find his music and more of his story at the link.
