Hunt Library marks summer’s end with town talent show

FALLS VILLAGE — The Hunt Library rang in the end of summer with a community talent show on the library grounds Saturday evening, Aug. 24.

“I want to suggest that everyone here has that thing,” said emcee Adam Sher, referring to talent.

The Berkshire Resilience Brass Band kicked things off, with Shamu and Lev Sadeh on trumpet, Jaimie Sadeh on percussion and Dathalinn O’Dea on alto sax.

Katelin Lopes, a rising senior at Housatonic Valley Regional High School followed, singing and playing guitar.

About 40 people attended, many of whom also performed, and as a reporter was leaving for the next assignment about half an hour into the show, more people were coming in. It was a very pleasant way to mark the change of season.
