Stockbridge 250th Committee debates passport reprint, weighs $2,900 cost
Other Committee · Meeting of July 13, 2026
Stockbridge 250th Committee weighs $2,900 passport reprint with only 40 left in stock. Meeting Monday, the committee approved its June 3 minutes unanimously and discussed a roughly $8,000 remaining budget that one member said was off by $840 due to an outdated tracking sheet. The committee settled on a Chesterwood-donated sculpture, believed to depict a Minuteman, as the top prize for its anniversary passport drawing, with copies of the book "Stockbridge Story" going to other participants.
Members scrambled to publicize a free Wednesday, July 15 matinee for Stockbridge residents, planning flyers and email blasts through contacts with an estimated 1,200 and 200 local addresses. No drawing date was set; members floated tying it to Chesterwood's October 31 closing date or to an October event honoring the Stockbridge-Munsee tribe, pending outreach to tribal contact Sherry White. The committee adjourned unanimously to reconvene Thursday, July 30, at 3 p.m.
