It’s Valentine’s Weekend, and we would have expected more romantic happenings. If you like Disney Princesses, books and dancing, there’s plenty going on in Pittsfield. We do like the idea of couples coming together at the Lichtenstein Center for the Arts to document their love stories with videographer Mati Kin. It’s part of Pittsfield’s celebration of its black community, part of the local African-American Biography Project.
Dads and their little girls can dance the night away at the annual Father-Daughter Dance in North Adams on Sunday night from 6 to 9. The annual event benefits the COTY Youth Center and is held at St. Anthony’s Parish Center.
It may seem odd to recognize a spinster on a weekend of love, but Susan B. Anthony blazed a trail of independence for women – far more precious and enduring than flowers or candy. Send some love to the suffragist by stopping at her birthplace this Sunday to celebrate her 189th birthday. The historic home on East Road in Adams will be open from 11:30 to 2:30.
The Mahaiwe comes through with a screening of classic rom-com “When Harry Met Sally” on Saturday night. Yes, we’ve seen it a thousand times but who can resist a winsome Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal at his comic best. Plus, chocolates! (And that restaurant scene!)
P.S. Mahaiwe says flash your tickets at alliumfor a 20 percent discount. Dinner and a movie, the perfect Valentine date.
