Are We There Yet?: Get Outdoors This WeekendBy Rebecca Dravis,
02:01PM / Friday, May 31, 2013 | |
I learned a valuable lesson last week with my new family events column here at iBerkshires.com: Always offer an indoor suggestion in case the weekend is a washout, like last weekend.
So with that in mind, my first pick for this weekend is something indoors. On Friday, May 31, at 6:15 p.m. at the Mason Library on Main Street in Great Barrington, "Monsters Inc." will be shown. If you haven't seen it, it's a fun flick for kids of all ages about a place called Monstropolis that is powered by the screams of human children.

Staying in North County, Saturday, May 25, brings one of my all-time favorite family events: Riverfest in Williamstown. I have been bringing my now-7-year-old to this since she was a toddler, and we have loved it every time. Every year is a little different, but in the past there

Sandy Cancels Governor's Visit to Florida TurbinesStaff Reports,
09:55AM / Friday, October 26, 2012 | |

We'll be meeting with North Adams officials this afternoon about emergency preparations and checking in with other towns. We'll do our best to keep everyone as up-to-date as possible on cancellations and closures around the county.
Sandy could dampen the opening of the Hoosac Wind Project, which has had its own stormy path to completion over the past decade.
