Print Story | Email Story
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The Great Barrington Arts Market (GBAM) returns to Saint James Place on Main Street in Great Barrington after a two-year hiatus during the pandemic. 
 
GBAM offers market goers a chance to shop in person and support the local artist community at the same time. GBAM's mission is to provide revenue for Berkshire based/local artists and offer locally made products to consumers in a holiday market venue.
 
The market is Dec. 3 from 10 am to 4 pm and Dec. 4 from 10 am to 3 pm. Entry is free.
 
"This year's vendor list is amazing," said Market managers Kristen Kanter. "We were able to curate a wonderful line up of local artists and vendors selling giftable holiday treats. Being in proximity to the Hudson Valley and Northwest Connecticut, allows Delightful and Delectable to have a wider pool of talented makers, setting our market apart from other Berkshire based holiday shows."
 
Fellow Market Manager Molly de St André and Kanter believe that the conscious shopper recognizes how important it is
to support the local economy and that a venue for artists to sell their work directly to the community is an obvious match to vibrant downtown Great Barrington, according to a press release.

Berkshire Special Olympics Returns to Monument Mountain

iBerkshires.com Sports
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. – Hundreds of athletes of all ages converged at Monument Mountain Regional High School Wednesday for the 45th annual Berkshire County Special Olympics meet.
 
Runners, jumpers and throwers from throughout the county put themselves to the test and were recognized for their accomplishments.
 
As always, one of the highlights of the day was the banner parade, when Special Olympians from various teams make their way around the track to be honored by the fans in attendance.
 
This year, the newly-created Lee High School/Monument Mountain Unified Sports team had the honor of leading the athletes behind a contingent of local law enforcement officers.
 
Unified Sports, an initiative of Special Olympics and the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, allows students with intellectual disabilities to compete in basketball in the winter and track in the summer alongside peers without disabilities while representing their schools.
 
Coaches varsity student-athletes from around South County participated in Wednesday’s event, helping to coordinate competition on two sides of the track and throughout the infield.
 
This year’s meet was dedicated to the memory of longtime Special Olympian Michele Adler, who competed for the Berkshire County-based Red Raiders team for more than 20 years and represented Massachusetts as a bowler at the 2010 USA Games.
