PITTSFIELD, Mass — The Vagabond Ball rolls into The Colonial Theatre on Friday, Oct. 17, 2025. 
 
This evening brings together a lineup of genre-bending performers, headlined by Bella's Bartok, alongside The Slambovian Circus of Dreams and The Picky Bastards.
 
Inspired by vaudeville, cabaret, and the carnival spirit of the underground, The Vagabond Ball promises an immersive experience where costumes meet chaos, and every moment feels like a celebration of life's beautiful absurdities, stated a press release. Fans can expect a night of high-energy performances, danceable anthems, and unforgettable visuals set within the ornate walls of one of Berkshire County's most iconic venues.
 
Bella's Bartok, often described as "circus glam rock," has earned a cult following for their high-octane shows that fuse Eastern European folk with rock theatrics. 
 
Sharing the bill, The Slambovian Circus of Dreams brings a "uniquely whimsical Americana sound, blending folk, psychedelic rock, and storytelling mystique." 
 
At the same time, The Picky Bastards infuse raw roots-rock energy to complete the night's carnival of sound.

Wahconah High Club, Green Committee Host Earth Week Activities

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

There was information and games last week at the high school and volunteer and other opportunities this week. 
DALTON, Mass. — Wahconah Regional High School students are cultivating an environmentally friendly atmosphere in its school, across the district, and now, thanks to a partnership with the Green Dalton Committee, into their communities.
 
As the grass continues to get greener many communities are preparing for Earth Day, April 22, but the school's Green Umbrella Club and Dalton's Green Committee question why limit it to one day?
 
With spring break just days away, club members organized several events to promote eco-friendly habits and environmental awareness, from a Family Feud competition, bake sale, golden-trash scavenger hunt, and a prize wheel activity at lunch.  
 
"It brings a more positive association with taking care of our environment," said Ella Scalise, senior and Green Umbrella Club secretary. 
 
School is a very structured environment where students are often directed on what to do. Earth Week activities introduce the topic in a fun and engaging way, with the goal of fostering environmentally friendly habits, she said. 
 
Taking care of the environment is something that some people do not consistently think about so incorporating it in fun activities and events makes it memorable, said Ellianna Chaffee, junior and Green Umbrella Club member. 
 
When the last bell rings, the experience doesn't end, as students can also take part in Dalton's townwide activities, including a guided birdwatch, a walk and cleanup at the Pines Trailhead, Family Feud, and a townwide scavenger hunt, all culminating in an Environmental Spectacular Fair at the Senior Center.
