Northern Berkshire Food Festival Slated Sunday - June 17, 2008
NORTH ADAMS — The area's finest food purveyors return to Main Street this Sunday with the 7th annual Northern Berkshire Food Festival.
The city's main drag will closed to traffic from noon to 4 as top restaurateurs, caterers, food and beverage vendors set up tables under the party tents for the thousands of hungry attendees expected to taste their fare. The festival has drawn upwards of 20 establishments from the city, Williamstown and the surrounding area.
The event also features a selection of microbrew beers and a wine tasting, courtesy of Girardi Distributors, West Fine Liquors and Berkshire Brewing Co., an eclectic mix of live music from Tom Corrigan and his band and drawings for gift certificates from participating eateries.
Food tickets are 50 cents each and will be sold from two kiosks located at the entrances of the festival tents. Each restaurant will prepare up to three entree samples with prices ranging generally from $1 to $4. The day's fare will try to satisfy the traditional as well as the adventurous palate.
Participating restaurants will be provided two banquet tables and linens and are free to decorate their area as elaborately as possible and encouraged to promote their establishment to the public. There will also be a food demonstration and representatives from the North Adams SteepleCats will have a table.

To add to the celebration, a 30-car contingent is planning a fun run, with the food festival as its destination, beginning at 7:30 a.m. in Rhode Island. The caravan of classic Mustangs and Cougars will pick up autos in Charlton along the Massachusetts Turnpike and in Northampton, arriving on Main Street at approximately noon.
The public is invited to come and view the automobiles that will be on display for the duration of the feast.
The Northern Berkshire Food Festival is designed to provide a pleasant environment for visitors and residents to sample a variety of different entree samples, socialize, relax and enjoy the atmosphere.
