News & Notes: 'Anything Goes' at BousquetBy Larry Kratka - February 08, 2008
Winter Carnival Weekend at Bousquet
The Pittsfield Winter Carnival may have had to postpone last weekend's Family Day until Feb. 23 because of the weather, but this weekend's events are still going to happen. The City Ski Meet will take place Saturday at Bousquet Ski Area. This event is free to enter for any youngster and all participants will walk away with an award. Sign up in the morning.
On Sunday, Bousquet will once again be the site of another Winter Carnival event. This time it'll be the "Anything Goes Sled Race" Sunday afternoon. This popular event is also free and you'll be seeing just about anything that can slide coming down the slopes of Bousquet. In past years, there has even been a coffin and bathtub entered in the race.
Reaction to Romney Dropping Out
Reaction to former Gov. Mitt Romney suddenly dropping out of the 2008 presidential race was mixed Thursday. At Wal-Mart in North Adams, shoppers said it didn’t surprise them after he lost California in Super Tuesday's election. One shopper said Romney never gave a darn about Western Massachusetts so he was happy to see him drop out. Other shoppers said they were not too thrilled about John McCain now being the obvious Republican nominee for president.
On the other hand, many of the people the Berkshire New Network talked with said the race between Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton should be interesting to watch in the weeks and months ahead.
