Print Story | Email Story
ADAMS Mass. — Adams Free Library is hosting a free, literacy event for families that is multi-sensory and based on children's books on April 23, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.
 
The event is presented by Emilee Reynolds, an Early Childhood Educator and owner of Miss Emilee ECE. Reynolds has more than 15 years of experience working in the field throughout all of Berkshire County and we are excited that she is returning to share her curriculum with the Adams community.
 
The program is for children ages 6 and under and their caregivers. It will include stations that engage different senses, coupled with connections to various children's books. The activities include a playdough station, music and sound station, and a tactile and touch station. A light table will also be utilized in one of the stations. The goal of the program is for the young participants to build academic skills through sensory play. Reynolds's program weaves academics and play together so all participants enjoy the learning activities.
 
This program is funded in part by a grant from the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
 
Families with children ages six and under are invited to attend this multi-sensory literacy event on Thursday, April 23,  from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. No registration is required, and an adult must accompany participants. Library events are free and open to the public. Attendance at library programs constitutes consent to be photographed; photos may be used in print or electronic publicity for the Adams Free Library.

Comedy and a Cause: Hypnotist Fundraiser Supports Adams Street Fair

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — You are getting sleepy ... very sleepy ... and when I snap my fingers, you'll feel an irresistible urge to support your first responders.
 
Did it work? Probably not — I'm a writer, not a hypnotist.
 
Fortunately, R-rated hypnotist Frank Santos Jr. has that part covered. On Saturday, Aug. 8, Santos will bring his comedy hypnosis show to town for a fundraiser benefiting the Adams Street Fair, with proceeds helping support the annual community event.
 
The fundraiser will be held at Turn Hall, 6 Turners Ave., beginning at 5 p.m. with a spaghetti dinner, followed by Santos' performance at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 and include dinner, with all proceeds benefiting the Adams Street Fair.
 
"It's going to be a great show," said Joseph Martin, Adams Street Fair Committee chair. 
 
The spaghetti and meatballs will be made by Stacy Gigliotti and the brownies for dessert will be donated by M&J's Taste of Home Diner, he said. 
 
To make the sale of the tickets as accessible as possible Martin said he is willing to personally deliver tickets to anyone interested in attending.
