More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend. |

Martin Luther King Day Program - January 15, 2008
On Monday, January 21, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday, the Bushnell-Sage Library, the Sheffield Senior Center, and the Sheffield Historical Society invite you to join in celebrating stories and voices of African American heritage in our town. This intergenerational program begins at the Library at 2 pm. Bring your whole family and come prepared to learn, listen and join in the commemoration of our local African American spirit and in the legacy left by Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Historical Society will present an overview on local African American history including demographic trends from the 18th century into the present, while several guest speakers will talk about their experiences growing up in Sheffield as African Americans. The program will also feature the music of "Deep River," a spiritual choral arrangement and an excerpt from Berkshire Choral Festival's "We Remember Them," performed in remembrance of Martin Luther King, Jr..
The program is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. |
