On a sunny afternoon right before the town’s Holiday Shop, Sip, and Stroll on December 9, Chronogram held a community portrait shoot at Bernay Fine Art on Main Street. Thanks to all the town residents who showed up to represent Great Barrington. A note of gratitude to Lou Friedman of Bernay Fine Art for hosting the shoot. And we coldn’t have done it without the coffee from Fuel and the sandwiches from Patisserie Lenox.
