Suns out (sort of) fun’s out! You’ve got a few more hours for those last minute gifts, stocking stuffers (@hotplatebeer gift cards please 🤞🙏) and THE best chocolate cookies in @downtownpittsfield from @lulus.tinygrocery 🍪❤️ All happening underneath the @beaconcinema and @flatburgersociety 🎉
The second in our @pittsfieldcoopbank "Shop Small, Dream Big" series is all about Momma Lo`s Southern Style BBQ!
If you`ve wandered around Great Barrington in the past year or so and wondered what that amazing smell was, chances are it was @mommalosbbq ❤️ Almost everyday you can find Momma Lo or her sons out on the grills in the courtyard by the movie theatre cooking up something sweet, smokey and delicious.
While you`re out shopping small for the holidays, stop on into Momma Lo`s to get yourself some food to refuel! 💪

What is Small Business Summer? It`s our push to get people to boost the local economy by shopping local. From our pop up events featuring local makers and entrepreneurs to our local biz treasure hunts to our incentives based local business app @lovelocalbrks we want you to discover something new in our neighborhood. Get out, explore and support a small BRKs business today! Download @lovelocalbrks link in our bio ❤️ #shoplocal #intheberkshires #explorelocal #supportsmallbusiness
The Berkshire Busk Night Market is off and running! Come on down to Railroad Street in Great Barrington and see some of the amazing makers who have joined us! Listen to some super talented musicians, getsome dinner @bizensushigb @mooncloudgb @babalouiespizza, get some drinks @twoflowergb @depart_wine taste come on down and join the fun!
We know the last thing the Berkshires needs is another guide, but we`re hoping our spin on the genre @lovelocalbrks will break the mold a bit! It`s a guide, it`s a game, it`s a way for people to learn what locals love and possibly win prizes! And it’s an ever evolving work in progress - let us know what you think!
But starting today, if use the app and “check in" at one of the 150+ Berkshire businesses we`ve been lucky enough to add to our network, you could possibly win some Perks from TheBRKs at the end of each month!
And we’ll be doing special targeted hunts and quests from time to time, but shopping local everyday can be a chance to win prizes!
We`re hoping by adding incentives, games, puzzles and hunts to the usually passive world of guides we will increase engagement at the local businesses we call local treasures all over The BRKs 🤞
So as friends, family and everyone else descends upon our beautiful Berkshires this season - give them @lovelocalbrks and help encourage them to find the hidden gems right around the corner...or use it yourself and possibly win some prizes of your own🤞
Thank you to all our sponsors, partners and collaborators this Small Business Summer - especially @pittsfieldcoopbank
