GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — The Southern Berkshire Chamber of Commerce officially has launched a canister campaign to raise funds for a fireworks display following the Holiday Stroll on Saturday, Dec. 13.
Wheeler & Taylor in partnership with Preferred Mutual Insurance has offered $2,000 towards the fireworks display, challenging the community to match that amount through small donations of spare change, according to Betsy Andrus, the chamber’s executive director.
“Winter fireworks are somewhat unusual but very dramatic on a cold clear night, creating a fitting end to a magical evening," Abdrus said. "We’re confident that everyone who loves fireworks will contribute to the fund over the next two months so that we can provide a spectacular show for young and old alike.”
One hundred canisters donated by The Shopper’s Guide are currently being placed around Great Barrington in public places such as stores and restaurants. People can also make donations by calling the chamber at 413-528-4284.
The Holiday Stroll is one of the Chamber’s largest community events and is made possible by major sponsor Salisbury Bank. For more information call the Southern Berkshire Chamber of Commerce at (413) 528-4284 or email betsy@southernberkshirechamber.org.
