Woodstock Chimes Celebrates Retailer's Silver Anniversary

GDA Staff -- Gifts and Dec, 2/8/2012 11:26:04 AM

Shokan, NY - Woodstock Chimes held a drum circle at Atlanta-based Phoenix and Dragon Bookstore to celebrate the specialty gift and book retailer's 25th anniversary. Woodstock Chimes executive vice president, Stacey Bowers, a professional musician, was on-hand to personally direct the drum circle.

"Drumming is one of the simplest things that a group of people can do to come together and unite. It puts us in touch with a creative force that directly connects us to our own humanity," said Bowers.

The event drew a large crowd and at the end Woodstock offered two participants the chance to win a new Remo drum from Woodstock's Music Collection line.

It was also more recently revealed that a more personal connection exists between Woodstock Percussion and store owner Candace Apple: her sister Taffy was a student of both Woodstock's founder/owner Gary Kvistadt and Stacy Bowers when they were assistant professors at the University of Cincinnati in the 1980s.
