PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Mayoral candidate Pam Malumphy is hosting a "get out the vote" Central Block party on Tuesday, Sept. 8, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

The "2nd Tuesday" party at 75 North St. includes music by Annie and the Hedonists and is free and open to the public.

Malumphy invites residents to listen to great music and hear why she is perfect for Pittsfield.

Malumphy was a member of the Pittsfield City Council when the Office of Cultural Development was created and was quickly appointed to its search committee. With past positions with Boston Symphony Orchestra and the nationally renowned Huntington Theatre Company in Boston, she says she loves the business of art and the art of business.

Metroland 2008 named Annie and the Hedonists the Best Acoustic Band in the New York Capital District: "What's your pleasure, folkie? Country blues? Bluegrass? Celtic music? Current singer-songwriters? With Annie Rosen's world-class vocals topping off layers of fine instrumental work, this local quartet offers one-stop listening in more tasty genres than you can shake a pick at. That's why they take the acoustic cake."

Paid for by The Committee to Elect Pam Malumphy

Wigglesworth Leads Pittsfield Back to State Little League Final Four

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – Weston Wigglesworth has delivered a lot of highlights for the Pittsfield Little League All-Stars this summer.
 
On Sunday, two back-to-back gems turned the tide in a 3-0 Section 1 Tournament title game win over Holden.
 
It was a 0-0 game, and Pittsfield had not had a baserunner in the top of the fourth when Holden used an Owen Williams double and a hit batter to get runners to second and third with two out.
 
Wigglesworth reared back and fired his 11th strikeout of the game to end the threat and get an enthusiastic Pittsfield team back into the dugout.
 
Mateo Fox then led off the bottom of the fourth with a single up the middle to break up a perfect game for Holden’s Ciara Rota.
 
Rota got the next two hitters on a line drive to second base and a strikeout to bring Pittsfield’s No. 1 hitter to the plate.
 
And Wigglesworth did what he has done so many times before, crushing a pitch deep over the center field fence to give his team a 2-0 lead.
