WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The 3rd Annual Fall Fusion Festival will take place in downtown Williamstown and on the nearby Williams College campus on Thursday, September 17, 2009 beginning at 3pm.
The event will welcome back the Williams College community, and introduce new students, faculty, staff and their families to ‘the Village Beautiful’. In this spirit, local shops, restaurants, innkeepers, and health practitioners will be highlighting their businesses with sales, coupons, and giveaways.
Music, food and “info-tainment” will be provided under a tent on Chapin Lawn (of Williams College) and along Spring Street all the way down to the public parking lot across from Tunnel City Coffeehouse. In addition, the Paresky Student Center will host local non-profit organization tables where representatives will share information on what they do and how students and community members can get involved.
The Festival is a collaboration between Williams College and the Williamstown Chamber of Commerce. “In past years this event has been a great community builder,” notes Judy Giamborino, one of the key organizers. “It’s a wonderful way to introduce our students to the town and vice versa,” remarked Jessica Gulley, another key member of the planning team.
