LENOX, Mass. — The Water Division of the Lenox Department of Public Works announced the annual flushing of the Town water system.
 
The flushing will begin on Monday, May 1, 2023 and continue for several weeks.  The mains will be flushed during regular working hours of 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM.
 
Flushing may cause localized discolored water and reduced service pressure in and around the immediate area of flushing.   Should discolored water be experienced, customers may wish to let the water run for a short period of time to clear.  If you see the flushing crew in your area, avoid doing laundry, as the discolored water may stain laundry. If the discolored water or low pressure conditions persist, please contact the Public Works Department at (413)637-5525.

Marionette Shows At Ventfort Hall for Children

LENOX, Mass. — The puppeteer Carl Sprague will return to Ventfort Hall Gilded Age Mansion and Museum in Lenox with Rapunzel for two holiday vacation week marionette performances. 
 
The dates and times are Saturday, Dec. 27 and Monday, Dec. 29, both at 3:30 pm. The audiences will have the opportunity to meet Sprague after.
 
Sprague, who has appeared annually at Ventfort Hall with his "behind the scenery" mastery, has been a puppeteer since childhood.  He inherited a collection of 60 antique Czech marionettes, each about eight inches tall that were assembled by his great-grandfather, Julius Hybler.  Hybler's legacy also includes two marionette theaters. 
 
Also, Sprague has been a set designer for such motion pictures as "The Royal Tenenbaums" and Scorcese's "The Age of Innocence," as well as for theater productions including those of Shakespeare & Company. 
 
Admission to the show is $20 per person; $10 for children 4-17 and free for age 3 and under. Children must be accompanied by adults.  Ventfort Hall is decorated for the holidays. Reservations are required as seating is limited and can be made on line at https://gildedage.org/pages/calendar or by calling (413) 637-3206. Walk-ins will be accommodated as space allows. The historical mansion is located at 104 Walker Street in Lenox.
