Volunteers secure giant murals to the fence line surrounding the grounds of Woodstock '94 at Saugerties, N.Y., on Wednesday. The three-day concert opens Friday, but the first of an expected 200,000 fans were already arriving. To prevent a repeat of the chaos surrounding the 1969 festival, an extra 550 troopers, 350 toll-takers and 100 maintenance workers have been assigned to Woodstock duty. Illegal parkers on the New York Thruway will have to pay at least $210 in tickets to get their cars back.
