PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Carr Hardware celebrated 95 years during their Carr-nniversary Weekend in September and with assistance from their loyal customers, was able to raise $7,232, which will be donated to the Berkshire Humane Society today.
Over the Weekend, Carr Hardware hosted a bucket sale that allowed customers to purchase a bucket that they
could then fill with discounted products. During the month of September customers were offered the option to round-up their purchases to the nearest dollar. The bucket sale and the Round Up were used to raise the $7,232 that was donated directly to the Berkshire Humane Society.
"Our four legged friends need food, shelter, veterinary care and a suitable home," President of Carr Hardware Bart Raser said. "Nobody does this better than the Berkshire Humane Society and they need financial support to continue their good work. As a community business, we appreciate their impact in the Berkshires and we are proud to support them."
Carr Hardware has a long-standing history of working with the Berkshire Humane Society.

iBerkshires.com Sports
HOLDEN, Mass. -- The Bridgewater American Little League All-Stars Thursday scored three runs in the top of the seventh and went on to a 15-14 win over Pittsfield in the first round of the State Tournament.
Pittsfield scored twice in the extra inning and had the winning run on base when Bridgewater's pitcher got a ground ball out to end a back-and-forth contest.
Bridgewater started the high-scoring game with three in the top of the first, but Pittsfield answered with five in the bottom of the frame.
Bridgewater then scored four in the top of the second to go ahead by two, but Pittsfield scored another five in the bottom of the frame for a 10-7 lead.
Then things quieted down until Bridgewater scored five in the top of the sixth to go up, 12-10, but Pittsfield rallied to stay alive.
With two out and runners at second and third with his team down two in the bottom of the sixth, Mason Fox singled to left field to score Chase Albano and Brody Hamilton to tie it.
Bridgewater then got four hits in the top of the seventh, taking full advantage of the "ghost runner" and adding two insurance runs to take a 15-12 lead.
