Stuart collects answer sheets during an intense round!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the ECA Bear Fest Trivia Night at the Pulaski Club on Friday night.  It was a lot of fun, the questions were challenging, and the competition was fierce!   Fred Chamberland and Stuart Beckley worked hard keeping things organized and running smoothly (not to mention that they were the question writers too!  Cheers!).  John Polak sold raffle tickets, and Kate Beckley worked the score board!  The bartender was fantastic and begged us to do it again, sooooo let’s see!  Be sure to see photos of the event in the Photo Gallery!

The winners of the night  generously donated their winnings back to the Bear Fest project!  Yay!  Thanks for your generosity and participation, it was hugely successful and we all had a great time. 

Stay tuned for future events geared to enhance the arts & cultural life in our community!  We value your input and involvement!

On October 23rd, 2008, the Easthampton Bear Fest Coordinating Committee met to discuss Big Plans. Subcommittees were formed and tasks were assigned.

As of Thanksgiving, 2008, the Marketing & Advertising Committee is pleased to announce that the Easthampton Bear Fest has a new, professional web presence (you’re looking at it).

Working paw-in-paw with project leaders and with the Easthampton community at large, we will continue to build the site, and provide you with up-to-the-minute news on the Bear Fest project as it develops.
