PINE PLAINS — Stewart’s Shops will suspend gas sales for approximately six weeks starting Sept. 10 at 5 p.m., according to store employees. The store, located at 7710 South Main St., will also close at that time, with a newly constructed store set to open the next morning, Sept. 11. The company expects gasoline sales to resume by mid-October. In the meantime, drivers will need to visit nearby gas stations in Millerton, Milan or Stanfordville, each about 10 miles away.

The revamped store will continue to offer its popular products, including coffee, beverages and grab-and-go meals. The new layout is designed to improve customer flow and reduce wait times, the company said.

The renovated location will have two new diesel pumps and eight regular gas pumps, significantly expanding its capacity. This upgrade is part of Stewart’s ongoing efforts to modernize its locations across the state, the company said.

While playing outside in the early post-pandemic days, Berkshire Busk! founder Eugene Carr had an epiphany: why not expand the idea of performing on the street (aka busking)into a full-fledged festival in Great Barrington?

As an entrepreneur and cellist, Carr envisioned a well-organized jamboree featuring regional talent, including musicians, acrobats, storytellers, fire-eaters, and more. He formed a team, connected with local businesses and the town of Great Barrington, and launched Berkshire Busk! in 2021. Since then, Berkshire Busk! has grown into a summer staple for Great Barrington.

'Sylvia' brings heart, humor and one unforgettable dog to Sharon Playhouse stage

What if the dog onstage was played by a person? That’s the delightful twist in A.R. Gurney’s “Sylvia,” opening at the Sharon Playhouse on Aug. 29. In this clever and heartfelt comedy, the title character — a stray pup who disrupts the lives of a married couple — is portrayed not in costume but by an actor who brings insight, charm, and chaos to the role.

Stepping into Sylvia’s paws is Jen Cody, who is returning to the Sharon Playhouse in a starring role for her third year in a row, ready to bring this spirited dog to life. She’s joined by Jonathan Walker as Greg, the middle-aged man smitten with his new four-legged friend, and Jennifer Van Dyck as Kate, his wife, whose patience and identity are tested by Sylvia’s sudden presence in their home.
