In Canaan New Hampshire three dozen students from Canaan College and Colby Junior College plan a May 9 rock festival on private fairgrounds that could draw up to 100000 people. They aim to pre sell tickets and fence off the site to control access. Sponsors seek backing from Coca Cola Bottling Co among others. If held it could generate about 1 million dollars split between the colleges with most going to the Canaan College building fund. The colleges seek major sponsors while local officials consider legal options to block the event due to concerns from the town and university officials. The lineup reportedly included Creedence Clearwater Revival The Who Blood Sweat and Tears and Crosby Stills Nash and Young.
