ADAMS, Mass. — Guitar virtuoso and composer Gladius will perform his flamenco fusion style music in a solo concert at the Adams Free Library on April 25 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. 
 
According to a press release:
 
Gladius was raised in Atlanta, Georgia and learned classical flamenco guitar from a protégé of the Spanish classical guitar master Andrés Segovia.  He is also heavily influenced by the late rock guitar virtuoso Eddie Van Halen. His musical style has been described as "spicy flamenco fusion on a heavy metal platter." In 2022 he became Gwinnett County Georgia's first ever recipient of the Gwinnett Superstar award. He has performed over 700 solo concerts throughout the USA.
 
Library events are free and open to the public.

Cheshire Festival of Trees on View Until Dec. 31

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

Businesses, nonprofits, schools and town departments provided trees for the display that reflected their missions or services. 
CHESHIRE, Mass. — There is still time to experience the festive atmosphere of the Community House. 
 
The moment you step into the town offices, you're greeted by the scent of fresh pine wafting from about 70 beautifully decorated trees on display. 
 
The town's festival of trees will be on display Monday through Thursday from 10 to 4, Friday and Saturday from 10 to 8, and Sunday from 10 to 5 until Dec. 31. The building will be closed Dec. 24 and 25. 
 
The idea started four years ago with Department of Public Works Director Corey McGrath's vision to display a decorated, lighted tree in all 13 windows of the Community House, the former Cheshire School.
 
A large part of it was to bring the community back into the building that was a mess five years ago, he said. 
 
The purpose of the building is in its name — a community pillar housing the town offices and Youth Center Inc., and a community hub featuring activities from dancing, craft fairs, wrestling, and more.  
 
Since its establishment, the display has grown into the festival it is today featuring raffles, a Christmas village, nutcrackers, and, of course, trees.
