Red Lion Inn and Norman Rockwell Museum team up to make December special BY ERIK DECKERS Sponsored Content Contributor STOCKBRIDGE, MASS. — It seems like years since we had a December worth celebrating. But the Red Lion Inn and Norman Rockwell Museum are going to make up for the times we’ve missed, creating a monthlong slate of activities and special events cenThe events the Red Lion tered on being Inn has planned include: with family and Wednesday Night Holiday Jazz friends, celebrating trad itions in the lobby, from 5:30 p.m. to and creating new 8:30 p.m. memories with Christmas Piano Covers on Nov. the people we 30, Dec. 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, love. 26, 27 and 28. The Red Lion Inn and Rockwell Hot Beverage Pop-Ups every Museum, both Saturday and Sunday, from 3 in Stockbridge, p.m. to 5 p.m. Mass., are naming There are also several special this year’s partevents including: nership as Joyful Family Holidays. Seasonal stories in the Side “We’ve taken a Parlor. fresh spin on some Christmas caroling. of the traditions Main Street photo opportunities. that have been in Gingerbread house decorating. place for many Santa brunch. years and packNorman Rockwell discussions. aging them up in Christmas Eve dinner. a way that’s fun, Christmas Day dinner. festive, and safe,” New Years Eve dinner. said Sarah Eustis, CEO of Main Street Hospitality Group, the owner of the Red Lion Inn. One of the treasured annual events, Main Street at Christmas Weekend, a Norman Rockwell Holiday, hosted by the Stockbridge Chamber of Commerce, is on hiatus again this year because of continued Covid precautions. As an alternate way to share in the joy of Stockbridge this season, The Red Lion Inn and Norman Rockwell Museum are offering some favorite traditions and new magic for their guests. And because there are many different holidays happening in December that honor various customs and heritages, the Red Lion Inn

and Rockwell Museum partnership aims to celebrate the spirit of gathering for meals, stories, culture, and the company of loved ones. Joyful Family Holidays is focused less on a speciﬁc holiday and more on Stockbridge’s being a welcoming place where visitors of all ages can enjoy traditions new and old, and create new memories. “Norman Rockwell is cherished for his iconic images of holidays and family,” said Laurie Norton Moffatt, director/ CEO of Norman Rockwell Museum. “The Museum’s holiday traditions have evolved to recognize many cultural practices that are meaningful for our guests. The special exhibitions together with Rockwell’s art, stir memories, offer inspiration, and get people talking about what they are seeing and feeling.” One tradition Eustis and her staff are especially proud of is their front porch. During COVID-19 last year, Red Lion Inn needed to make more space to allow for social distancing, so managers wrapped the porch in a beautiful red canvas to create an enclosure. Then they heated the front porch so people could sit out there and have a meal and a cocktail or some cocoa and enjoy the space outside for the winter. “We’re really known for being this place to come back to with your family. We have generations and generations of people return. We greet them by name and appreciate that people spend important family moments with us,” Eustis said. “It’s a promise that we’re keeping The Red Lion Inn thriving and ready for our guests and their families.” And everything they’re doing will be done in a careful and safe way with their guests’ health and safety at the forefront of their minds, she said.

THERE’S A LOT TO DO IN STOCKBRIDGE The Red Lion has a lot more going on than just a place to stay or to get dinner. The Inn has four restaurants, including the Main

Dining Room and Widow Bingham’s Tavern. (The Courtyard is closed for the season, and The Lion’s Den is closed for renovations.) There also are several art galleries, museums, shops, historic homes and sites, theaters, as well as hiking and skiing around Stockbridge. “You can have a great afternoon seeing the new Jan Brett exhibit at the Rockwell, and then come to the Red Lion, listen to some caroling, and sit outside with a cup of cocoa,” Norton Moffatt said. “Or you can organize your trip around some of the different things that are going on in the area. You can make the Red Lion your home base and enjoy the Norman Rockwell Museum, among the many cultural activities.” Of course, you won’t want to miss dinner at the Red Lion, especially during Christmas. A new chef, John Sterrett, came to the Red Lion in June and brought his wife, who is the new food-and-beverage director. Chef Sterrett was working hard on the Thanksgiving dinner at the Red Lion and will soon be getting ready for Christmas Eve dinner, Eustis said. In November, the hotel was decorated in a fall theme, as Thanksgiving at the Red Lion is always a classic. People get dressed up, sit in a beautiful dining room and enjoy a sumptuous prix ﬁxe meal. “It was incredibly gracious, especially this year,” Eustis said. “We have so, so, so, so much to be grateful for, and we love the idea of being together and gathering and all the things that we took for granted before.” So what’s the plan for Christmas Dinner at the Red Lion Inn? “Chef Sterrett was so busy with Thanksgiving, he hasn’t even had time to think about what the Christmas menu is going to involve, but it’s going to be wonderful,” Eustis said. “It will be a prix ﬁxe menu.” You can get more information on the Red Lion Inn website at RedLionInn.com.

If you’re interesting in adopting Lilo call the Berkshire Humane Society shelter today!

L I LO Lilo is a goofy two-year-old white and tan pit bull mix who came to Berkshire Humane Society because her former family was moving. Lilo loves to play tug and romp about outside and can be a bit of a “rough and tumble” girl in her play, so a home that can manage her interactions with young children would be best. She does love kids, however, and has lived with them previously. Lilo enjoys walking outside on a leash, which is good because she could stand to lose a few pounds! She has a high prey drive, so a home ZLWKRXW FDWV RU VPDOO DQLPDOV LV HVVHQWLDO IRU KHU WR ÁRXULVK DQG settle in to her new family. She probably would be OK with another dog – a successful meet-and-greet with one would be needed.

If you’ve been looking in the Berkshires for a build site with high ground, this wooded lot is for you! Over 100 feet of driveway already constructed from County Road. You could choose to continue up the hill, and establish a home site with views of Mount Everett, or build lower down and enjoy the sounds of the Ironworks Brook, a year-round stream running along the edge of the property. You’ll be a comfortable ride from nearby Berkshire attractions in Great Barrington, Main Street Stockbridge, Tanglewood, or Mass MoCA.
