The three day event, entitled the Aquarian Exposition, is to be the largest music festival of its kind, Mel Lawrence, one of the producers said today. "This thing could cause bed lam in my town," Walkill Town Supervisor Jack A.

Schlosser remarked in a telephone inter view. "The festival would come at the same time as the opening of a new Sears Roebuck store in the area. "The 20,000 customers per day which are expected during the week of the opening would be using the same intersection as the thousands of vehicles going to the exposition." Schlosser added mat otner problems could result from the fact that parts of Route 211, the main thoroughfare to the exposition site, have been torn up by crews putting in new water lines. The Town Board Is to meet "in the near future" to discuss the situation with members of the Woodstock Ventures the agency producing tDe Aquarian Exposition, Schlosser said. The time and place for the meeting have not been set, however.

Although the corporation it self has never promoted such an event before, Lawrence pointed out, many of its members have had wide experience with other folk and rock festi vals around the country. "The Aquarian Exposition will be the biggest," he said "Never before have so many top name groups and perform ers been assembled like this, not even at the now famous Monterey Pope Festival In Cal ifornia. 'We selected this area be cause of its access to Boston, Philadelphia and New York City and because of its pas toral background." More than 500 acres nave been rented from land develop er Howard D. Mills Jr. at Tower and Fortune Drives.

Local residents have ex pressed concern at recent Town Board meetings that sanitary, housing, eating and police facilities, may be insufficient for the large crowd ex pected. One group went so far as to circulate a petition against the festival. "We are trying to allay the community's fears," Lawrence said. "For example, police security will be handled by Wes Pomeroy, coordinator of law enforcement for the U.S. De partment of Justice under the Johnson Administration." Recording artists who have reportedly signed contracts to perform at the festival include The Jefferson Alrplalne; Janis Joplin: Canned Heat: The Moody Blues; Blood, Sweat and Tears; The Iron Butterfly; The Incredible String Band; Arlo uuthrie; Joan tiaez; Kicme Havens; Laura Nyro; Creed ence Clearwater Revival; Crosby, Stills and Nash; The Band; and Tim Hardin.

The producing company's name had at first caused some confusion that the festival was to be In Woodstock, N.Y.
