Events

  1. The Colonial Theater, Pittsfield: “No Kings in America – Rally for Democracy”, March 9 at 2:30.

Senator Ed Markey will headline. The event is sold out. Contact the sponsors listed above to learn if there will be overflow space.
  2. Norman Rockwell: Illustrating Humor on view through June 10, 2025 Norman Rockwell: Illustrating Humor follows What, Me Worry? The Art and Humor of MAD Magazine, this summer’s landmark exhibition of original art from one of America’s oldest humor publications. Illustrating Humor and What Me Worry? are thematically linked. The two exhibitions juxtapose and illuminate two strikingly different veins of American humor, from the gently comical to the outrageously satirical. The underlying unity, however, is apparent in the brilliance of the illustrations and invite rueful self-recognition. Members Free; Adults $25; Seniors & Veterans $23; Children Free; MA Teachers $22; College Students $10
  3. Stockbridge Library Edible Book Festival, March 1, 11am – 1pm, March 1 11am – 1pm Do you like to read? Do you like to eat? Do you have some creative juices and imagination flowing inside of you?

Participants can create edible works inspired by either a particular title or the concept of a “book.” Bring what you made to the Stockbridge Library on Saturday, March 1 to be displayed for the afternoon. Library visitors will then submit votes for which display is their favorite! Entries can be baked, cooked or assembled with completely (or mostly) edible materials and should be bookish in theme.

To inform without opinion or pressure and give the people of Stockbridge the facts they need to make informed decisions.

To provide space for opinion, but since facts and opinions are different, to clearly mark opinion pieces, and clearly identify the opinion holder.

Stockbridge Updates is a periodic newsletter delivered through email.

Carole Owens, Executive Editor

Stockbridge Updates: Format

SU is attempting to present a consistent format for readers. SU begins with its Table of Contents. The SU Editorial is next and then the News. News is divided between one-time events, such as the election and events around town, and recurring reporting, such as the Notes from… section. It is called Notes from… because SU attends the town meetings, takes notes, and reports what happened. If SU has a comment or question, it is at the end of the meeting identified as Editor’s Comment or Editor’s Question. The next section is Contributors. Under contributors, you may find Stockbridge history, opinion pieces, or information from a Committee Chair or elected official. Our final section is Reader to Reader, our letter section. The issue closes with the SU Statement of Purpose and Policy for Contributors. We welcome all letter writers and contributors; deadline on the 10th for the issue posted on the 15th of the month and on the 26th for the issue posted on the first.

Your Submissions Welcome!
