Sasha's Memorial Ski Race Slated at Bousquet11:01AM / Monday, February 09, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Bousquet Ski Area will hold a benefit ski race on Friday, Feb. 20, at 7 p.m. in honor of "Sasha," its beloved Samoyed mascot.
"There will be one-run giant slalom on Grand Slalom, from top to bottom," said race organizer and ski school director Cindy Bartlett. The race is open to all ages and disciplines including skis, snowboards and telemark skis.
Prizes will be awarded and all entrants are eligible for door prizes. The entry fee is $25, with all proceeds going to the care and feeding of the homeless animals at the Berkshire Humane Society. Registration begins at 5 p.m. the day of the race. Visitors are welcome to watch. For more information contact Bartlett at 413-442-8316, Ext. 26.
The Berkshire Humane Society offers free educational programs for area schoolchildren, a pet-food bank for economically distressed pet owners, and works with the Elizabeth Freeman Center to provide foster care assistance for the pets of women in crisis.
BHS receives no public funding and relies on memberships and donations. In 2007, it placed 784 homeless animals into forever homes. The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 to 4, Thursday evenings from 5 to 8, and Sundays from 1 to 4. The shelter closes at noon on the last Wednesday of each month for staff meetings. The phone number is 413-447-7878 and Web site is www.berkshirehumane.org. |
