Benefit Dinner
Fundraiser at the Inn for outstanding program that puts youth-at-risk alongside professional chefs!
Railroad Street Youth Project (RSYP), a youth empowerment organization located in downtown Great Barrington, MA, supports the creation of youth-generated activities that promote responsibility, self-worth and intergenerational respect and communication. RSYP's Berkshire Culinary Arts Program, under the direction of Red Lion Executive Chef Brian J. Alberg and featured on Good Morning America, allows area youth to work with chefs for professional culinary training. The program "finale" is a community dinner overseen by guest chefs working with the students to prepare a gourmet meal for the public! This year's fundraising dinner will be held on November 16th at The Red Lion Inn - join us for hors d'oeuvres, a 5-course meal and the opportunity to win a raffle that awards the lucky winner with a week at a private home in Provence!
This is a great opportunity to experience a delicious dinner and commune with folks who believe in the importance of empowering youth! Tickets are $100 per person, including wines.

Final Weeks of Groundbreaking Sculpture!
Don't miss out on this year's Contemporary Sculpture at Chesterwood! Chesterwood is the home and studio of Lincoln monument sculptor Daniel Chester French and is just 3 miles from the Red Lion. The theme for this year's show, Space is the Place, is described by Guest Curator, Denise Markonish, Curator at MASS MoCA,
as "particularly fitting to Chesterwood and the history evident within its site. The grounds of Chesterwood were
designed by Daniel Chester French with the utmost specificity. By situating these works in this idyllic setting,
the living space of such an extraordinary place is made evident." Please click here for more info.

Halloween at the Mount!
 "For
the ghost should never be allowed to forget that his only chance of
survival is in the tale of those who have encountered him."
Edith
Wharton wrote those words many years ago, but they still seem
particularly apt today. Whether using the latest technology or their
old-fashioned senses, visitors to The Mount during this season's
inaugural Friday night ghost tours have reported a variety of eerie
experiences from unexplained taps on the shoulders to the faint aroma
of flowers and cigar smoke.
During Halloween
week, the time of year when according to ancient folklore,
communication between the spiritual and physical worlds is at its
liveliest, The Mount will be hosting a series of events to tell tales,
both ancient and new, and shiver the spines of all who care to venture
forth!
Halloween Week Activities:
October 26-29 (Monday - Thursday)
3:30 p.m. Daily
readings by members of The Mount's staff of stories and poems by some
of Wharton's favorite ghost story writers including Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, M.R. James, and Edith Wharton herself. These
readings are included in the price of admission to The Mount and will
start each afternoon at 3:30 p.m. in the Drawing Room.

8:30 p.m. A reading, in collaboration with the Berkshire Theatre Festival, who made this year's "Wharton on Wednesdays" so successful, of Edith Wharton's famous gothic tale, The Lady's Maid's Bell.

reservations are required. Please call (413) 551 - 5100.
October 31 HALLOWEEN (Saturday)
6:30 p.m. A special

and under and includes both tour and reading.

encouraged during this special week. The tour is not suitable for
children under 8, or people with limited mobility. Reservations are
required, please call (413) 551-5111 or see www.edithwharton.org for more information.
