WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute joins in the community-wide celebration of the holidays during Williamstown's 42nd Annual Holiday Walk Weekend, held the first weekend in December. 
 
The Clark kicks off the festivities on Friday, Dec. 5, with a live concert by vocalist and tap dancer Jenny Herzog. On Dec. 6, the Clark hosts art-making activities and horse-drawn carriage rides on Spring Street, while its Café 7 makes a return entry participating in the Soup-er Bowl cook-off.
 
On Dec. 5, Jenny Herzog kicks off the season with a spirited concert blending the Great American Songbook, tap dance, and holiday classics. Herzog—a part-time Berkshire County resident—celebrates the long relationship between improvisational tap dance and jazz. He will be joined by interdisciplinary pianist Jacob Hiser. The performance takes place at 6 pm in the Manton Research Center auditorium.
 
Tickets $20 ($16 members, $14 college students, $10 children 17 and under). Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. For tickets and more information, visit clarkart.edu/events.

From noon to 2 pm, the Clark's own Chef Chris Gouty and his team from Café 7 are vying to be selected as the best soup in the Soup-er Bowl cook-off held in the Lasell Gym at Williams College. Then, the Clark sponsors art-making activities at the TD Bank branch at 57 Spring Street from 2:30 to 4:30 pm and horse-drawn carriage rides on Spring Street from 2:30 to 5:00 pm.

Letter: Williamstown Garden Club Seeks Members

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

Have you enjoyed the seasonal, colorful flowers around Williamstown? Did you know these efforts are the work of Williamstown Garden Club (WGC) members?

These include the containers at town intersections, the post office, Town Hall, Milne Library, Field Park, and the bike path.

Are you eager to see the green boxes with cascading flowers return to Walley bridge, also the work of the WGC? The club needs to increase its membership to assist with these efforts, which are enjoyed by so many — both residents and those just passing through town.

Membership is open to all and offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to the community, as well as enjoy educational programs and garden tours. Learn more at williamstowngardenclub.org.
