Lenox. MA - Thank you so much to everyone who helped make BerkChique! 2025 a huge success – we raised almost $60,000 for Ventfort Hall and four other local non-profits (Berkshire Art Center, Berkshire Humane Society, Community Access to the Arts and WAM Theatre).
 
For the second year in a row, our Friday night First Dibs party sold out and we welcomed many first-time Ventfort Hall visitors and BerkChique! attendees!   Everyone who attended had a big smile on their face and had an excellent time shopping and browsing.  There was a palpable sense of joy, camaraderie, and community spirit in the air.
 
BerkChique! could not happen without the generous support of our donors, volunteers, sponsors, and shoppers.  It really does take a village and this year that village came out in force.  Many thanks to all our supporters!!

Donations of unsold clothing at the end of the sale went to the following Berkshire non-profits: Elizabeth Freeman Center, Berkshire TransExchange, Catwalk, Wildflower Associates, BRIDGE, and ABC Clothing Shop
 
Ventfort Hall is absolutely thrilled with the turnout, which has brought hundreds of new visitors to Ventfort Hall, and attention to our work of restoring this Gilded Age cottage.  The funds raised are urgently needed for ongoing restoration (including a much-needed paved parking area), and we're incredibly grateful to Vicki Bonnington, and everyone who was involved in helping us make this another spectacular BerkChique!
