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.

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.

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.

St. Stan's Students Spread Holiday Cheer at Williamstown Commons

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Students from St. Stanislaus Kostka School in Adams brought the holiday spirit to Williamstown Commons on Thursday, delivering handmade Christmas cards and leading residents in a community caroling session.

"It honestly means the world to us because it means the world to them," said nursing home Administrator Alex Fox on Thursday morning. "This made their days. This could have even made their weeks. It could have made their Christmas, seeing the children and interacting with the community."

Teacher Kate Mendonca said this is the first year her class has visited the facility, noting that the initiative was driven entirely by the students.

"This came from the kids. They said they wanted to create something and give back," Mendonca said. "We want our students involved in the community instead of just reading from a religion book."

Preparation for the event began in early December, with students crafting bells to accompany their singing. The handmade cards were completed last week.

"It's important for them to know that it's not just about them during Christmas," Mendonca said. "It's about everyone, for sure. I hope that they know they really helped a lot of people today and hopefully it brought joy to the residents here."
