ADAMS, Mass. — The Adams Theater will welcome comedian Katherine Blanford to the stage on Saturday, Aug. 30 at 7:30pm. 

According to a press release:

Originally hailing from Kentucky, Blanford is known for her human Golden Retriever presence on stage. After racking up millions of views on her "Don't Tell Comedy" set, Blanford hit the road sharing confessions of her southern family secrets and awkward adolescent years across the country and internationally. 

She has appeared twice on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon, Vice TV's "Super Maximum Retro Show," and "After Midnight" with Taylor Tomlinson. Most recently, she was featured on Deadline's "Comedians Ready to Break Out in 2025". 

Katherine released her debut special, Catholic Cowgirl, with 800LB Gorilla Records in December 2024. Not bad for a girl whose parents are cousins.

Hoosac Valley Students Find Their Voice Through Advisory Board

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — For the last three years, Hoosac Valley High School has encouraged students to take part in shaping their school community through its Student Adult Advisory Board. 
 
The board has become popular among students, with approximately 70 members currently enrolled and a waiting list of others eager to join — the largest it has ever been, said Jaclyn Ricci, history teacher. 
 
"It gives us such a voice in the school, and I just think it's something every school should have because it really just brings all of us together, our whole student body as one, and helps us be more comfortable with each other," senior Rylin Larabee said. 
 
Students highlighted how the initiative allows them to work alongside school administrators and other adults to implement policies and advance programming, from bringing back the peer mentorship program and planning enrichment activities based on the student body's needs to advancing multi-year plans for outdoor classrooms and planning school celebrations and pep rallies. 
 
"I feel like it brought me closer to a lot of the advisers that we work with, and the teachers in the building, and just being able to communicate with them and explain, like student to teacher, how both of us are feeling about different roles that we have in our school," senior Leyah Brown said. 
 
Senior Preston Hnatonko said the Student Adult Advisory Board (SAAB) operates similarly to government in that it gives students firsthand experience in developing policies. They can then carry that experience beyond graduation and advocate for change and influence public policy as adults.
 
As an environmentalist, Hnatonko said one of the biggest things the program has done is teach him how to write legislation for the causes he believes in.
