Happy March! I hope you all enjoyed the dose of warm weather we got earlier this week. Of course, in classic New England style, we were abruptly reminded what season it really is afterwards.
Regardless of the temperature, all the festivities in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day are beginning to ramp up across Western Mass. Just this past Sunday marked the city of Easthampton’s celebration of their Parade Committee’s award winners. This group of folks from across greater Easthampton really got in the spirit and I’m looking forward to more events to come all across our district.
On Monday morning, several of my staff members attended the Tourism in Western Mass. briefing. The Pioneer Valley and the Berkshires are, in my own biased opinion, some of the most beautiful parts of the country, and with so much to do, as well, tourism makes up a critical part of our local economy. I’m looking forward to helping support our local tourism bureau and sharing all the wonderful things Western Massachusetts has to offer!
