FALLS VILLAGE — The David M. Hunt Library’s annual “Midwinter’s Night in the Village” fundraiser Saturday, Feb. 10, was well attended.

There was a bit of a scrum surrounding the long table piled with homemade goodies. The lineup included, memorably, chocolate mice, which prompted “there are mice in the library” jokes.

Rebecca Bloomfield and Adam Sher kicked off the music. Sher noted that the two play together “once a year, here.”

Katelin Lopes, a junior at Housatonic Valley Regional High School, made her debut on acoustic guitar, doing Stephen Foster’s “Beautiful Dreamer.” She said she has been playing guitar for just six months.

In light of rising local interest in the centuries-old game of Backgammon, Wednesday afternoon backgammon instruction and play sessions are being offered at The Hotchkiss Library of Sharon. The first such session was held on Wednesday, Aug. 13, attracting two enthusiastic participants, both of whom resolved to return for the weekly sessions.

Expert player and instructor Roger Lourie of Sharon, along with his equally expert wife, Claude, led the session, jumping right into the action of playing the game. Claude chose to pair with Janet Kaufman of Salisbury, a moderately experienced player looking to improve her skills, while Lourie teamed himself with Pam Jarvis of Sharon, who was new to the game.
