ADAMS, Mass. — The Majesty of the Berkshires Drag Pageant will return to the Adams Theater for its third annual event on Friday, May 30, at 7:30 p.m.

The pageant, which precedes Pride Month, will feature drag performers competing for the title and a one-year role as a representative of the Berkshire County LGBTQIA+ community. Tickets are available for purchase at AdamsTheater.org/events.

The competition will showcase drag artistry and self-expression. The evening's program, created and presented by Bella Santarella and hosted by Shawn Hollenbach, is scheduled to include guest performers, musical and dance numbers, and lip-sync performances. A component of the competition involves contestants collaborating with Berkshire businesses on a drag commercial.

Vuronika Baked, the 2024 winner, and Poppy DaBubbly, the 2023 winner, are expected to attend. Organizers note that the event has sold out in the previous two years and encourage early ticket purchase.

Cheshire Seeks Options West Mountain Runoff

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
CHESHIRE, Mass. — The recent increase in rain has exacerbated an ongoing issue of flooding in the neighbors of West Mountain and Curren Roads. 
 
A few months back, a resident of West Mountain Road, Michael Lemanski, adjacent to Curren Road, complained about the runoff from Curren coming down the hill and into his yard. 
 
Over the years, the area's drainage system has changed. Initially, runoff would flow into the woods through a pipe on the right side of Curren Road, which then connected to a pipe on the left side, channeling water across the road and into the woods, said Corey McGrath, Department of Public Works director.
 
Then a garage was built and a pool was put in, so this system changed to a "strict 90" and ran it along the edge of the road, underneath the driveway, another 60 feet, then daylighted the runoff into a privately owned field.
 
"It's never worked. It's always been a problem. It overflows. It's not big enough. It goes down the driveway, and it cuts across his lawn, and washes out everything," McGrath said during the Select Board meeting on Tuesday. 
 
Now, McGrath is proposing installing a storm basin on the right side of Curren Road, pipe it farther down the road on the town's right of way, totally surpassing Lemanski's property, directing the water across the road, and then daylight it into that field. 
 
"Now, I don't know if we're removing one headache and getting another one, dumping it into that property," he said.
