Halloween night in the Berkshires....
The Countess started her night with a visit to Michael's of Stockbridge. They were having a big Halloween extravaganza with a live band. I wanted to see my girls behind the bar, Susan and Melissa, and wish them lots of Treats and no Tricks.

Sean, who runs the karaoke nights at Michael's wanted his picture on the blog, so here you are dear Sean.....

Then I was off to Rumpy's Tavern in Lenox where I was one of the 'celebrity' judges! Sir Scott, Cindy (the Queen of the Bar), and The Countess were in charge of the costume contest. There were a lot of innovative ones but I was very impressed with this young man who told me that everything he was wearing came from The Dollar Store....even his underwear!

They say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, and Sir Stew, First Knight of the Berkshires, took that to a new level when he came as "The Countess". Needless to say, he won First Prize!!!
