Posted by Wayne G. Barber

WOODSTOCK, CT. — The Main Stage lineup for the 157th annual Woodstock Fair,  always Labor Day weekend, at the intersection of Routes 169 and 171 in South Woodstock, CT. has been set.
Pop stars Wilson Phillips and country rocker Scotty McCreery will headline the offerings for the 2017 Fair which takes place Sept. 1 through Sept. 4. 
Wilson Phillips will perform on Sunday, Sept. 3 at 8 p.m. 
The legendary group features Carnie and Wendy Wilson, the daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, and Chynna Phillips, the daughter of John and Michelle Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas.
The trio hit No. 1 on the music charts with their songs “Hold On,” “Release Me,” and “You’re in Love.”
McCreery was the winner of the 10th season of American Idol in 2011. 
Since then, he has gone on to release three songs, “See you Tonight,” “I Love You This Big,” and “The Trouble with Girls,” that all broke the top 20 in the country charts. His newest single, “5 more minutes” has just been released.
McCreery will put the finishing touches on the 2017 Fair when he takes to the stage at 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 4.
Billy Gilman, a childhood star from Hope Valley, R.I. whose debut single “One Voice” was a Top 20 country single in 2000, will be the first headliner to perform at the Fair.
Gilman will take to the stage on Friday, Sept. 1 at 8 p.m. 
Gilman’s career received a boost this past year when he competed on the hit NBC television show, “The Voice.”
Gilman was a part of Team Adam Levine last fall and finished as the runner up for the 11th season of the show.
