Welcome to The Edge ‘Holiday Happenings’ (and ‘Readings’) sections

With the Edge Holidays 2014 sections, we offer expanded listings and illustrated readings to add to your holiday enjoyment.

Attention holiday shoppers, holiday revelers, and general celebrants of the holiday spirit. The Berkshire Edge has launched a special Holiday 2014 Section (see the Holiday 2014 link in the above navigation bar). Here’s what you’ll find there:

At Holiday Happenings you’ll find a comprehensive list of holiday events all over Berkshire County, including Williamstown, and reaching into Litchfield and Columbia Counties. Click here for Holiday Happenings

At Holiday Readings, you’ll find readings that celebrate the joy and spirit of the season – poems for parents and children, and O. Henry’s classic story “The Gift of the Magi,” all charmingly illustrated by local artist and children’s book author, Adam Gudeon of Great Barrington. Click here for our readings and Adam’s illlustrations.

And, for the holidays and beyond, don’t forget that the Edge Calendar has the region’s best listings year round. You’ll find there a complete guide to music, arts, dance, theater, community events and all kinds of things to do. The calendar is searchable by venue, category and date – all on your computer, your smart phone or tablet. If you’re not already using this calendar, you are missing out on a great resource.

We hope you enjoy the new special section. And we wish you happy holidays.
