PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Carr Hardware celebrated 95 years during their Carr-nniversary Weekend in September and with assistance from their loyal customers, was able to raise $7,232, which will be donated to the Berkshire Humane Society today.
 
Over the Weekend, Carr Hardware hosted a bucket sale that allowed customers to purchase a bucket that they
could then fill with discounted products. During the month of September customers were offered the option to round-up their purchases to the nearest dollar. The bucket sale and the Round Up were used to raise the $7,232 that was donated directly to the Berkshire Humane Society.
 
"Our four legged friends need food, shelter, veterinary care and a suitable home," President of Carr Hardware Bart Raser said. "Nobody does this better than the Berkshire Humane Society and they need financial support to continue their good work. As a community business, we appreciate their impact in the Berkshires and we are proud to support them."
 
Carr Hardware has a long-standing history of working with the Berkshire Humane Society.

Moses Leads Force to Win in World Series Opener

FLORENCE, Ala. – Gianna Moses went 2-for-3 with a double and drove in a run on Friday to lead the Berkshire Force 12-and-under travel softball team to a 7-3 win over Davidson, N.C., at the Babe Ruth World Series.
 
The Force got just one other hit, a single from Cassidy Flynn, who finished with a pair of RBIs, on a day when it took advantage of five Davidson errors.
 
Berkshire jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, when Moses doubled and scored a run.
 
The Force led, 7-0, going to the bottom of the fifth before Davidson was able to put three runs across. The game ended after five due to the tournament’s time constraints.
 
Flynn and Olivia Archambault split time in the circle for the Force, combining to strike out seven, walk three and allow two earned runs.
 
The Force starts pool play with a record of 1-0 and continues on Saturday morning against the squad from Mexico. Berkshire wraps up pool play on Sunday with a double-header.
