Williamstown has officially seen snow this week! Winter has
arrived and it’s getting cold! So I’ve heard anyways, I’m currently sitting in
the 80-degree weather of Florida J
avoiding winter as long as I can.
For those of you who are planning your trips to the
Berkshires this week, here’s what’s going on and what you can expect.
Weather wise, it is currently 30 degrees in Williamstown and
will be fluctuating all week, but probably won’t be any warmer than 50 degrees,
so be sure to pack accordingly, gloves, hats, winter coats, (snow suits and
parkas, ha, ha!) are all acceptable this week. But probably a little too soon
for skis and snowboards, maybe next week! ;)
Some events going on this week (there’s A LOT!) include:
Enjoy a display of art in indoor galleries, retail and
hospitality businesses along North Street and South Street corridor. This is an
ongoing event that will continue until December 27th so there are
lots of opportunities for you and your family to enjoy arts and activities in
downtown Pittsfield, MA.
Enjoy great food in a beautiful atmosphere of the Thornewood
Inn and Restaurant in Great Barrington, MA. Enjoy Richard Dagenais on the piano
and David Thorne on vocals every Friday and Saturday evening until January 1st.
Also until January 1st, every first Thursday of the month you can
see Wanda Houston and friends with some swingin’ jazz over a delightful dinner.
