Benjamin Moore Main Street Makeover: Paint What Matters Competition

Many Eagle-Eyed Woodstock Early Birds not falling off their branches from the mellifluous intonations of Mr. Brad Pitt’s voice over have noticed that a certain Vermont “Main Street” shows up in a new Benjamin Moore paint commercial.

To involve the public and increase publicity (as we are doing), the “Paint What Matters” campaign seeks the public’s input as to which town should get a Benjamin Moore makeover. We find this hilarious — but possible —  as we are not sure that Benjamin Moore “artistes”  would make it past the Woodstock Design Review Board unless ALL historic colors are approved first through a series of meetings which are likely to last a year as all suggestions must then be taken up by the Woodstock Development Review Board,Woodstock Planning Commission and then voted on by the Village Trustees. We may have missed a review board in there. In any case, herewith the video and associated links. Yes, why not give it a try,  you can vote for your favorite “Main Street” here:
